Proper references

edit

The commentary-like text on Zakhar Bron is potentially libelous, not to mention just that: commentary. The citation of Lebrecht in support weakens that potentially libelous text further, because Lebrecht is by far the most notorious gossip in classical music, who consistently posts gossip as if it were fact. I have no particular respect for Bron, and I do respect Fabio Luisi. But respect is not the same as hard, verifiable, well-documented facts that can stand up in a court of law. Gossip and one man's opinion do not qualify in either respect. If anyone does not understand these basic principles, that person should not be editing on wikipedia.
