Of course, the Rodrigo and Corigliano were written specifically for Galway and beautifully showcase what he can do. But either ya like that kind of flashy thing, or ya don't.
Funny about his Bach B minor suite -- in his memior, Nathan Milstein takes the trouble to criticize Galway's super-fast tempo, while acknowledging with grudging admiration that his concerts are always sold out.
It is actually a huge compliment that Milstein chooses to mention Galway at all in his cranky narrative, which is mostly about Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Kreisler, Toscanini, Horowitz, Heifetz, Piatigorsky etc., all of whom he knew well, and all of whom he admired but doesn't hesitate to slam when he thinks they deserve it.
