In Reply to: You have heard of him, you owned many of his recordings. My point is that posted by tinear on April 5, 2014 at 14:32:47:
No one said LG was an empty suit, but you seem to think that because he was worshiped by his peers, that fact automatically makes his recordings worthwhile? Given all the problems with them (some by LG's own admission!), I'm afraid I don't see the logic in that. Sure, they have a theoretical interest, but I'd guess that most listeners would be disappointed by them. Of course, I guess there will always be listeners who flatter themselves that they can "hear past the flaws" of the big names of the past. (Or, perhaps, they aren't even aware of these flaws?)
Frankly, I think in a hundred years, performances will have moved on and folks in the future will mainly be interested in performances from their time, as, by and large, they should be.
No one is attacking LG - just trying to put things in a different perspective from the hero-worship of big names to which some here are prone.
