      All too human - both disgraced as a result of a long history of sexual abuse, pedophilia, coercion, and blackmail - great music (except Levine's heavy-handed historically uninformed Mozart) - despicable human beings.

      @@richardwebb2348 Avec les mouvements féministes intégristes il y a beaucoup de mensonges .Je connais ça dans la famille et cela fait très mal .
      Heureusement qu'en France ce n'est pas comme en Amérique car la justice à son mot à dire.
      J'imagine l'enfer que doivent vivent les artistes sur exposés et condamnés sur de simples mensonges .
      Une carrière irréprochable peut être vite démolie par des fausses accusations et avec metoo ça y va !
      Quand on sait comment cela se passe en Amérique ,c'est horrible car il est possible de démolir quelqu'un en l'accusant de harcèlement etc...même s'il n'a rien fait.

    Such a shame about allegations regarding their private lives, If you look at the lives of some great composers and artists you will unfortunately encounter numerous moral failings and character flaws which in most cases they compensate for through their great artistic brilliance and creativity which they masterfully detach from their ‘human’ shortcomings, we have to see things in focus and in the context of the absurdities of the human condition in general

      @Seb G It was more visible in his case, because he was in a wheelchair. Levine's partners for intimate companionship were of rather small posture, so he had to bend forward constantly, which caused pains in his back.

    It's all about arrogance... arrogance that drove The Anointment of "Jimmy" as Principal Conductor in 1972 - a mere 8 months after his first Tosca at the MET (even though there were dozens of conductors with greater musicianship and experience)... arrogance that manufactured the "genius Maestro" myth, protected their cash cow, and shamefully covered up for his crimes... arrogance of all the fanboys who wink-winked at what they knew was going on... and the ultimate arrogance of "one rule for us inner circle of culturati and another rule for the rest of you shleps..."
