Lack of neutrality

There is a disproportional amount of negative and damaging material in this entry. It seems like Wikipedia is being used to further some vicious fanatic's revenge. Generally, an encyclopedia entry should report the honors and praise which have earned the subject his fame. If there is controversy that should be mentioned, but criticisms should not be given equal time -- he's not important by virtue of his mistakes, after all.

No, Wikipedia policy is to give coverage in relation to the weight given in reliable sources, not to give higher priority to praise than to criticism, nor to give higher or lower priority to any kind of coverage on the basis of what we think of the coverage.

I've just listened to his 2017 Schonbrunn Vienna Philharmonica car-crash. The audience started leaving early. OK, there can be a tendency towards kitsch or schmaltz, this tended towards dreck und weh. He reduced the orchestra to a quivering mass of uncertainty, where the essence of dance tunes, a rock-steady beat, was replaced with a form of creep up on the note and surprise it. Wait-wait-wait-er, now, sort of, OK, now where we? Too much Stockhausen aleatory music, in a word. One encore, and no calls for more, says it all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.197.30.186 (talk) 20:59, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
