It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Not quite.

She did perform and allow herself to be recorded live, unlike Glenn Gould, but like him she was one of those "nothing is ever good enough" types. She lived and performed well into the era where lots of splicing and editing was possible, and took full advantage, at least with her Beethoven cycle, but even then apparently it wasn't good enough for her.

Both Gould and Fischer seem to have had psychological issues when it came to performing and recording (and in his case, just about everything else).
But I was discussing something different, i.e., David's point, with which I agree. And that is, modern high-tech recording has made us accustomed to a kind of technical "perfection" that doesn't exist in nature, and many of today's performers try to imitate that kind of perfection in live performance, which doesn't necessarily guarantee a perfect or even a very good performance in other ways.
