It is strange though, that his primary criticisms of the audition process are that it's cruel to the auditioners (he reiterated this sentiment in an email to me responding to a comment I made), yet he has no problem whining that no one played Mahler 5 correctly, or that you need to roll out of bed and play Haydn or you have no business trying to get a job. Baffling.

Also, it seems to me this audition yielded a perfectly satisfactory result for Mr. Eddins. So why is he complaining about it?
