I can't believe you got a call about the exchange at SFCV, which has let really acrimonious discussions happen in comments in the past: see JVS's review of West Bay Opera and that SF Bach Choir review where the reviewer himself revealed sour-grape type reasons he might have written a bad review.

But I'm also surprised that after you heard this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDkNyOMJ_1A), what you thought Licad said overrode what she played.
