Please don't insinuate anything. Either make a statement or don't say _anything_. It's insulting to me and to the rest of the world when people make such statements. Give us facts so we can ask Mr. Simon and the orchestra ourselves - or say nothing at all.

sorry there is nothing I want to reveal about the politcs
because other people may get involved. JUST assume I said
nothing about that.
however one thing I can tell you and the rest of the
world, I attended one of Andrew Simon's concert 5-6 years
ago in Hong Kong, it was aweful, he was playing Weber's
Concerto No.2, he played with the score in front of him!!
and the high notes were out of tune, obviously he was
lack of practice, he did not respect those people
who pay the money who bought the ticket. From my ear
and other music students' ears in the Art Academy, we
all think he is not the best clarinetist in Hong Kong.
We presume the reason why he was appointed is because
he is from Juliet, maybe he was good when he just graduate
, but obviously his performance has been degraded.
I have not listened to him for 5 years, so I donno how
good he is now. I hope he can play a concerto without
the score in front of him now. *sigh*
