Dear Thomas,
I've read the whole story with great interest, and intensifying disgust of critics. I have been an international opera singer for more then twenty five years, and have naturally had to endure the ups and downs of these persons that usually have no clue about whatever they are criticizing. The key word here being "criticizing", not "reviewing" as it should be. In music I found that that a constructive critique was so seldom that I sometimes had the urge to clip it out and post it somewhere.
Anyway, it seems absolutely clear to me, that this man has no idea whatsoever of what he is talking, and I wish that the demonstration of professionalism and method that you put on display for us here in the forum, would be something that he could see and hopefully blush in shame over.
We have a saying in the music world that goes: don't worry about it, tomorrow they will wrap fish in it!
Or as my fellow Dane Hans Christian Andersen once said when given one of many harsh critiques: "One would only wish that it was written on softer paper more suitable for the destination of it!"
All the best and God bless
Mikael
