Dear All Surley Rea Doug's opinion is abrupt and forthright which are qualities that others have pinned on me. But why should an opinion be narrowminded or...
John, I think you are missing the point. I don't mind Doug expressing what he likes or dislikes. I am just against the way he put it. The way he uses the...

I'm with Doug on this one. I'm very surprised at Tintner's versions being hailed as some kind of revelation. Here's my personal Tintner experience: when they...
I think the problem with the Tintner set, is that he uses rather mediocre orchestras. Had he a top European orchestra at his disposal the results would have ...
I will break my words and post one more time. Dude, go back to Doug's original post and re-read it. Did he say he was shocked and appalled at the Tintner set...
