George Jellinek was wonderful, as was his radio program. As for Perlman, you get no argument from me. But he is one of those celebrity /stars, like Pavarotti, or even James Galway, for whom a serious and experienced critic, familiar with other great violinists, or tenors, or flutists, will inevitably have reason to view as overrated and outdone by one or more of his less well known colleagues, at least in some instances.
I'm reading the Leonard Bernstein Letters right now. A classic celebrity / golden boy in his day. What are the chances that at least some knowledgeable critics would come to view him as overrated, both as a conductor and as a composer, especially after his charismatic personality departed this life? 100 percent. And some started sniping at him well before he died.
Some performers, due to charisma, good timing, or other factors, are so celebrated that they are (perhaps rightly) viewed as overrated, no matter what they accomplish.
