I would like to say that this trend >is totally out of date. Why people insist on this fallacy? Well,about Celibedache,that is my opinion. About Jeffrey Tate,i think Wilson didn't read carefully my E-mail. I never said Tate can't be a conductor. And to be clear,i have nothing about his conducting,because he is or not homosexual,or handiccaped. I was speaking about the "Trascendental" meaning of the word "Maestro".The real meaning of the word "Trascendental" in every language on the earth,is related to the hidden meaning of a word,it implies the "esoteric" wich is the real significance of the things wich are cover by the forms. In that world,a "Maestro" can not have any major handicapp.(of course i am speaking about the handicapps of that context). I am clarifying this because i received a private E-Mail from a person who feel ofended by my opinions.I thing now is clear.Is nothing personal,is just an explanation of a meaning of a word. An about the term fallacy,for me is not a fallacy. Cordially: Geardo:.
