Maybe I am too kind. I am a nice person :-)
As for mannerisms, such criticisms can also be levelled at any suitably idiosyncratic conductor e.g. Stokie, Solti, Mengelberg, Bernstein. Did they compromise at all? You bet they did e.g Bernstein's DGG performance of West Side Story, Stokowski and Fantasia. Were they hypocrites?
I don't want to revive an HIP v.the rest argument and am only interested in a performance of whatever kind that represents the music in such a way as to find an emotional and/or intellectual response in me. So this month I have bought recordings that are both subject in period to HIP interest; Haydn and Handel. I bought Handel Op.6 ( Manze, HIP ) and Haydn London Symphonies ( Beecham, ever so not HIP). Good is good.
Thank you so much for your recollection of Contrubas' teacher Vera Rosza. All I can add in brotherhood is that I too picked up a parking ticket in California (Santa Barbara). It remains unpaid nearly 40 years later. Please don't tell :-).
