ClassicalRecords is a Youtube channel where I upload some excellent performances from the LPs in my collection. I'm uploading these LPs because they are either not available on CD, out of print on CD, or just difficult to find.

@gerhold101 "-you seem to savour combat?"

You do have me there. I must admit there have been many, many times when I have been unduly aggressive in internet exchanges, and occasionally just a plain dick.

Ironically, I'm pretty sure this was not one of them.

Anyway, no hard feelings, on my end at least.

[gerhold101]

I had no idea with whom & what I was communicating. A stern & good lesson for me - that I should think hard before responding, then draw back & pass by on the other side. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn it. I hate the God-gifted idea of creativity - to have that ascribed to me tempted an inherent rage - responding assuaged it. No, you evinced was no hostility - the apology line was to taunt you. I don't think a counter apology is necessary though - you seem to savour combat?

[polymath7]

One last thing. I tried and failed, for the sake of open minded curiosity to see this little exchange resolved, to keep the snark out of my last two comments.

But if you can highlight any obvious hostility in my first comment, or give me any clear reason to issue an apology, you'll get one.

@gerhold101 "Your first post was a clear misassumption of my meaning..."

My first post was a casual and knowingly provisional interpretation of your ambiguous phrasing, to which I am not particularly committed and certainly need not blush at. Where is the disambiguation that ought have obviated my ignominiously obtuse misreading?

Speaking of misreadings, what does the conjunction "spot-on" mean to you? It is indeed at least benign.

Non c'è vitalità, sembra che l'esecutore abbia tolto da questo concerto la sua polpa, deve essere più vitale e non deve sembrare una cantilena!
