Voices are raised in defence of Placido Domingo - Slipped Disc

Can you give a reference as to WHERE that reference comes from that Mozart boasted about touching more than 200 women, or that it was well known in that time that sopranos got roles for such behind the doors work.

I’ve never read that.

You yourself say: “I understand that Mozart….”

The incredible amount of intrigue that went on EVERY TIME Mozart put on an opera, works which then were performed less than just about anyone else’s, to now have what was more performed then, and more paid then just about entirely out of the repertoire; to say that “Wolfgang” had such control over who would end up in an opera that he took them to bed, I find a bit suspect. But after he died, and his works become more “famous,” then there would have been talk, and it would have appeared in the tabloids. So I wonder where you get your sources. And if he of course managed to get along with any of them beyond the stage, there would have been talk as to why.

I wouldn’t even trust is wife Constanze as a source. I’ve read that SHE’s the one that started all of the gossip about Salieri poisoning Wolfgang, that gossip I read she started during little concerts she gave mentioning that he said he was poisoned with Aqua Tofana. And that actually was as a reaction to there being in that time a lot of gossip that she poisoned her husband.

Anyhow, that Mozart boasted about having touched 200 women, is there any more credence to that than that Salieri poisoned him?

I’d liked to know what your sources are, if you’d care to share.

I actually have heard that Mozart did frequent taverns with certain ladies, that he had quite a few “mistresses,” but that wouldn’t be considered a valid source, because that was in conversation with Mozart’s mother through a spiritualism medium, who (the medium) in that time when Mozart lived appears to have possibly been one of his “mistresses,” I think that I was told he was a mistress, and then I asked whether there were “mistresses,” and I was told there were a considerable amount, but that was done in a tone more that it was something he didn’t hold back on, and it gave them more of a life, possibly. And it seems she (the medium no longer a she but a he) maybe inspired the C major concerto KV467, and had come from England after her husband had been beaten to death by thugs, and thus needed the money to survive.

You don’t have to believe ANY of that, and if you don’t have the notion to, please don’t. It’s fortunately beyond any testing, even less than if someone had a physical problem that spirit healed, which you might test with modern equipment, although that’s often also not believed, which makes no difference as long as there was healing, however. But people should be allowed their beliefs.

Also, I don’t know the story about Rameau.
