In Reply to: The Incredible Mr. Stern posted by Chris from Lafayette on July 9, 2014 at 17:33:04:
Rosand, not Stern.
All you really need to know is that he waited for Stern to die before leveling his accusations.
The comments smack very heavily of envy, don't they? And like many such assaults, they speak more to the author than the subject, " Boohoo, if bad ol' Isaac wouldn't have interfered, who knows how great I could have been?"
Stern (like Menuhin) may not have had virtuoso technique (a choice, perhaps, to be more musical than technical?), but he certainly had an individuality of sound missing from so many of today's robotic performers.
Stern also had a dimension missing from many of his perhaps superior colleagues: his range. His chamber music and small piece recordings are highly rated, at least two winning Grammy awards. Add to that the fact that many of the key musicians of his day, including Rostropovich and Oistrakh, enjoyed joining him and you realize he wasn't a journeyman. His reputation was very high among his contemporaries---- I'll let them speak to the man, not some also-ran lashing out in his dotage.
