I think it's about time for the snarkery and near-flaming to stop.   
Elaine Comparone has been playing the harpsichord (only) since she  
broke on the scene.  That was moons ago.  She runs a concert series  
and gets audiences.  In NYC - perhaps for some of you that explains  
everything!  Even if, as it seems, none on the list are pleased by the  
way she plays and presents herself, the fact is she does get audiences  
and draws people to the harpsichord who might be bored silly by the  
Apollonean approach favored by those who are dishing out so much  
opprobrium.  Is there really only one true way? Big tent, folks, big  
tent.

Best,

Hendrik Broekman
