William Hong replies to me, Re: Handel arias:

And therfore the Spice Girls have them all beat, right?
But a terribly good observation. I never meant anything of the kind of
course. Advanced doesn't mean better. And besides, just because I don't
like something particularly doesn't even mean I think it's "bad". I don't
like apples, yet I recognize that apples could be "good" if someone liked
that sickly-sweet taste (IMHO of course). I also recognize that there
are "good" and "bad" apples, even though I'm not so keen on any of them.
Maybe this is a week defense. Hey, its early here. Maybe I'll have
something intelligent to say later.
