[edit] Leonardo Leo: Gay?
An anonymous contributor (or vandal, depending on the truth of this matter) posited that Leonardo Leo was "a gay student". I removed that qualifier because it didn't seem to be the right place for such a statement. Can someone research this, and if it is true, decide whether it merits inclusion into the article?

[edit] Reevaluation needed on his musical legacy?
"His sacred music is masterly and dignified, logical rather than passionate, and free from the sentimentality which disfigures the work of F Durante and GB Pergolesi. His serious operas suffer from a coldness and severity of style, but in his comic operas he shows a keen sense of humour. His ensemble movements are spirited, but never worked up to a strong climax."
The above quote from the article is a 1911 view of the composer; has there been any research or recordings to help reevaluate his music? I know of a few recordings, but have not heard them... --FeanorStar7 18:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
