[edit] NPOV
The edits by 217.42.253.118 aren't exactly neutral. They sound rather like an advertisement for a concert by Mariss Jansons.

- Agree. Probably taken from a cover ;-) Jakro64 19:31, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
I've taken the offending passage out of the article. Here it is, for the curious:
- His performances are transcendent journeys which penetrate the emotional nucleus of the score and hence are usually met with rapturous applause: an unusual feat in the world of Classical Music. Despite his great charisma, his interpretations never tend towards being self-indulgent, and one cannot put enough emphasis on the amazing cathartic sensation experienced upon living through a Jansons concert. He is a truly exciting conductor and a great proponent of Classical music in the 21st Century.
It is, as you say, pretty clearly not NPOV. If we can quote a reputable critic or somebody saying how wonderful he is, then fine, but the Wikipedia itself should not have an opinion on the transcendent quality of his journeys, or on the difficulty of eliciting applause from a classical audience. --Camembert 14:27, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
