[edit] discography

The official SonyBMG Masterworks discography link for this artist is as follows

• Discography at SonyBMG Masterworks

It (in most cases) contains a full listing of in-print CDs released on the SonyBMG labels within the US (for the moment), along with track listings and in some cases audio clips (which will become more robust in the new year). Ecommerce links are provided inobtrusively.

I have been informed that it creates a conflict of interest to post these links directly from my account, so please consider adding the page to the link section. Thanks.

[edit] Please remove POV, Opinion, and Original Research

“

Davis has developed from the enthusiastic, impulsive firebrand of his early years into a mature master; yet he remains as passionate and involved in his work as ever. He is essentially a visionary and an inspirational conductor, and has often managed to bring those characteristics into the recording studio. His extensive discography ranges from thrilling accounts of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony (with the RPO) and Oedipus rex (with Sadler’s Wells), both from 1961, through much Mozart and Berlioz (Idomeneo, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, La clemenza di Tito, Benvenuto Cellini, Roméo et Juliette and Les Troyens are especially notable) to his pioneering Tippett, his impassioned Sibelius and his powerfully individual readings of Britten’s Peter Grimes and The Turn of the Screw.

The items bolded are opinion not backed up by sources. The "visionary and inspirational" is particularly over-the-top, unbacked up by any reviews or consensus. Even AllMusic.com does not give Davis any adjectives. Why does this Wikipedia article?

Suggest removal or re-working of all of these adjectivess, unless backed up by credible sources. Softlavender (talk) 09:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
