Hi Orpheus -
First, you seem convinced that I was the person Frogman referred to in that post - I am not at all sure. There could be a few others.
Second - you had asked me to respond to the video you posted of Andre Previn performing and conducting a Mozart Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic. This is what I belatedly responded to last night. I had no idea you wanted a comment from me on the other thing, which I did not listen to. I can go back and find it if you like.
As I said before - your "controversy" is in your head alone. I take everyone else's silence on the subject so far to mean that they probably agree.
I did not offer to teach you anything (in my last couple of posts, anyway, and I certainly will not in future, either). My intention was merely to try to explain why musicians and music lovers who have educated themselves about music do not and cannot take some of what you say about music seriously (because you proudly proclaim your ignorance of it). I do not think this is unreasonable - I am truly sorry if this offends you, but this is your communication problem - not mine. I personally don't think you can have a real complaint when people don't understand a point you are trying to make about music because it doesn't make any real sense, but hey, that's your right if you want to be that way, and you refuse to learn some musical sense. Everyone who does have musical sense sees right through it. As I said before, I will speak up for the sake of others who read these forums when something is posted here about music that is clearly wrong. And that's my right. I am not going to argue with you about it - that is impossible, for reasons which have already been said. If you really want me to exit the thread again, however, I will.
And by the way, I did post here about my favorite jazz albums, years ago when you first started this thread. I could easily add to that post if you wish, but I don't see much point if you are just going to lash out like you have been lately. Enjoy the music.
