...I'd have deleted it too. The essay was way more about you than the music, and the sideswipes at BMI were entirely gratuitous.
Their review of the M2 was however the most frivolous piece of writing about serious music I've read since, oh, 1958.
The performance came across on the radio much better than it did evidently in the hall. It did evince a good deal of restraint and, for lack of a better word, tastefulness, but the mezzo was terrific (vibrato aside, but what can you do?) and the percussion battery at the very end was quite the best I've ever heard. I'll listen again.
