I should go further and note that I've heard (can't verify) that Liszt not only loved Sulzer's singing, he regarded him as the best vocalist of their time. Sulzer did apparently hang out with some august company, having also known Schubert. This is getting to be quite a long and interesting threa

B"H Munich well, this is where things get particularly ugly. I´m sure that most of the people here already know that Wagner married Liszt´s daughter Cosima, who is reputed to have been an even bigger anti-Semite than Wagner. There´s a story that Wagner presented a copy of his treatise on "Jewry

The papers are being compiled into a book, they're not on the web. Mine wasn't even given at the conference and it's still in progress. My guess is that Gottfried is very busy. He also travels a lot and doesn't seem to check his e-mail when he's on the road. I don't know a whole lot about Liszt
