In Reply to: Galway is one of the few players that completely posted by oldmkvi on August 4, 2016 at 09:42:02:
including the sharp playing, especially "octave stretching" (i.e., getting sharper as you play higher) and "vibrato above the fundamental", which he uses in a way similar to Maria Callas. I'm not about to get into a debate his style of playing, especially since I suspect I'd end up agreeing with you for the most part, except to say that the old saw, "You can't argue with success" would seem to apply.
The greatest harm Galway has done is spawn imitators who try to adopt his style without his immense technical control and strength, with disastrous results. Also, I have heard his work in the BPO, and believe it or not, he is capable of toning things down considerably, playing in tune, blending with the orchestra, etc. He just stopped doing all that when he began his solo career.
