[edit] Postnominal "AC"

The "AC" postnominal in this person's full name links to the disambiguation page AC. Could you please refer to this page, the postnominals section, and indicate what the meaning of this is? In my opinion, the link should go to the society/organization of which he is a member for which the letters stand for. Thanks. Courtland 22:35, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Authenticity

He has often been careful to give historically authentic performances of these works: in a 1965 performance of The Marriage of Figaro he ensured that ornamentation was added in a way that Mozart would have recognised. This puzzles me. the second part of the sentence seems to imply that he wasn't always as authentic as the first part makes out. Henry^Flower 08:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I rather think the confusion over the three refs to the Gramophone article were caused by the conflation of Notes and References. Date and page ref now added, but it looks a bit odd to my eye. Tim Riley 09:04, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bizarre!

This article is in severe need of reorganisation - just about all that stuff in the footnotes should be in the article. Can anyone remember who he succeeded at ENO and/or WNO? I'm just populating Category:Music directors (opera) and a couple of succession boxes here would be handy. --GuillaumeTell 16:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

On your first point, it was a previous editor's slip of the fingers that accidentally banished half the text to the footnotes - now fixed. On the others, I'll have a rummage and report back. Tim riley (talk) 18:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
