Ah, so now we have yet another Opera Clown in our midst in Rolando
Villazon! We will not forget that it was during his record label's PR
dinner in Madrid last month on behalf of his awfully poor new disc,
'Cielo e mar', that the following happened:

Bizarrely, Studer Troll is using my nickname to provide a link to a
blogpost created as a result of the email he sent the blogger.
Also, everytime he posts, he reminds me that I haven't yet got round to
ordering two Deutsche Gramophone CDs, including Cielo e mar, which I covet.
After the troll squeaked its demand for a boycott of DGG, I had promised that
the next purchase I made would be on that label. So in fact I went out and
bought two items, Hilary Hahn playing the Sibelius and Schoenberg Violin
Concerti, and Anne Sofie von Otter's new "Terezin | Theresienstadt" disc.
