It's just a bit galling when to use the term 'chubby cherub' (the adjective, I know, is redundant) favourably is seen as sexist. <br /><br />I'm refraining from comment in any major way as they all need to be allowed to get on and hone this extraordinary production. But thanks for putting it so well. The visuals do matter, it's a question of the 'how'. And the how in describing it, from both sides, has been insensitively handled.<br /><br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416983732847060845.post-79264485996560615082014-05-20T23:06:28.089+01:002014-05-20T23:06:28.089+01:00How could I have missed your blog all this time?

And I understand some people swoon over him. If Dudamel can have this effect, why not Erraught's Octavian? Roger Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448938150029875105noreply@blogger.com
