<<He`s still a beginner isn`t he compared to Baker?>>

I, like DH, wasn't going to reply to this gross, blown
out of proportion, put words in my mouth,
misinterpretation of my email I sent out about the
great Julius Baker (who I happen to love, just not as
much as Jaques Zoon). Zoon is considered by many to
be the greatest flutist out there today. He's just
from a differen't school of playing than Baker. I
prefer his playing over the Baker syle. Baker
beats(used to beat) him technically, but IMHO, not in
the musical department. Please let me know if I ever
said Baker sucked, or I didn't like him... or, great
technique doesn't matter. I'm sure I didn't write
anything between the lines. Maybe too much eggnog on
your part!

Zoon is hardly a beginner, sir. He's a musician's
musician - like Baker was considered. He was asked to
be the pricipal in Boston several years ago, filling a
position that was open for 10 years. He recently was
asked to be pricipal in the Berlin Philharmonic (since
Pahud left) and may take the job. I love being told
of my ignorance and "jackless" opinions by ignorant,
fingerpointing, bandwaggon-joining blokes. Sorry for
the trouble. I guess I'm way out of my league on this
list, with all the amazingly talented, knowledgable,
people on it. I will lurk again and keep my opinions
to my self. :) Happy Holidays
