Previous version[edit]
The earlier text was essentially libelous and defamatory regarding Bron and competitions, because it presents one man's opinions (Luisi's) as if it were fact. The citations of Lebrecht in support weaken the accusations further, because Lebrecht is by far the most notorious gossip in classical music, who consistently posts gossip and factual mistakes on his blog. Schmid's article stated that, in fact, not all of the prize laureates were Bron students, bur rather all but one (which I will acknowledge is still a rather high quotient). 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. No other sources have made these accusations. And it is no defence to say that Lebrecht is widely read. Donald Trump has millions of followers on Twitter, and every word that Trump says is false, including 'a', 'an', and 'the'. Being widely read is not the same as being factually accurate. If anyone does not understand these basic principles, that person should not be editing on wikipedia. DJRafe (talk) 22:05, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
