The student princess
Which much-recorded singer has developed her use of expressive rubato to the point that she actually “stole” a professor from a prestigious British academy by offering him a veritable fortune to resign his position and devote his time to coaching her most recent CD?
I know, I know! But I ain’t tellin’!!!
Could it be Madama Fleming and her current “dog on a leash” Gerald Martin Moore. Moore is such a star-fucker that she could have fed him doggie biscuits and he would have come begging just to use her name. In the ultimate British cuntly way, he drops her name about every 17 seconds in a conversation alternated with the name of Natalie Dessay. As far as stealing him away, he was barely in Britain anyway. He is a nasty arrogant limey twat.
Ian Bostridge?
Whoever Andre Previn is hanging out with these days?
Not Susan Boyle, I hope!
So, GianniB, not a big fan of Gerald Martin Moore, I take it?
Fleming is doing a recital tour with Gerald Martin Moore in December that starts in Canada, stops in Seattle, then moves all over California and ends in Baltimore. I live in California so I’ll see them in LA. I doubt that he would resign just to do a few recitals. La Cieca must be referring to someone else (I hope).
Gianni B’s post makes me wonder if Parterre’s reputation for being misogynist is deserved, after all.
Maybe old bitter queens feel like they can get away with using words like that.
La Cieca doesn’t see how saying unpleasant things about Gerald Martin Moore, presumably a male, can be construed as “misogynist.”
So game over. You must be referring to him.
Kudos to La Cieca and to Opera Chic for the nice acknowledgments they receive in Alex Ross’s Blog entry about TOSCA: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/alexross/2009/10/the-case-of-the-missing-candlesticks.html
