It has just been relayed to me that John Wilson, frequent contributer to the
ng, expert on Toscanini and Bruno Walter and many other things, passed away
overnight. John was a regular attendee of the annual Brucknerthons (I last
saw him Sep 1), and was always a source of great stories and opinions. We
are the poorer without him.
Well, I would be the last person to wish death upon anyone - unlike
our house duck Tepper - but I have to say that after several run-ins
with Mr. Wilson over the years, I won't miss his commentary.
Here is but one example:
<<It so happens that I have a very nice collections of some of
Tommy's
more vile comments to members which I append below. However, none of
these are anti-simitic. If after reading these you still think he is
a charming old man with the milk of human kindness flowing and open
to
civilized debate let us know.>>
He probably died believing that he knew how to spell anti-semitic!!!
Yes indeed. RIP. And GR as well.
An absolutely vile sentiment, Tom. I'm ashamed for you.
