Funny, Scott. On the one hand you say these things are very much a matter of personal taste (which is true) but on the other I am "plainly mistaken". Subjective opinions can't be right or wrong, and few things are more subjective than tastes in music, which is all most of my or others' posts here are about. I gave my opinion with a specific example, not that it is very fair, I admit, to set Ms. Wang or any current pianist against Rachmaninoff. But it is a subjective opinion, nothing more or less.
And if you and she are listening to Ivan Moravec, our opinions are probably not that far apart. ;)
