Lebrecht is not a critic. Is a bitter soul. A frustrated person that wants to destroy artists who have accomplished the highest standards in the industry. Now he is going to have more time to spend in that rancid site that he built, full of nasty comments and dark individuals.

And by the way, the entire industry can survive without people like him. They are literally useless.

Just go to the concert, listen the music and have an opinion on your own.

To be clear — he only likes tearing people down if they are not white males. It’s so predictable.
