I'd heard some of these accusations against Stern mentioned by Earl Wild and others. For me, though, the most interesting part of the article by Lebrecht was the link to youtube clips of Rosand's playing. I'd never heard him before, and I enjoyed listening to the Beethoven sonatas, although there are skips in the transfer to youtube.

. . . was very highly regarded in at least one publication of the time I read (can't remember if it was High Fidelity or Stereo Review). Unfortunately, the Vox label had neither the prestige nor the distribution of the big labels, and their pressings were inferior (although many of the major labels followed within a few years in the "race to the bottom" - Dynaflex, anyone?). I haven't heard any performances from that set myself. One Rosand recording I like is the Rimsky-Korsakov Fantasy on Two Russian Themes, Op. 33, which, I believe, Milstein also used to play. Engineering and orchestra are no great shakes however. (This is also on Vox.)
It's up for streaming on QOBUZ at the usual 16/44.1 lossless FLAC.VoxBox 3 CD set. Qobuz's comments on the set as translated into English by Google Translate:
"Sonatas No. 1-10 / Aaron Rosand, violin - Eileen Flissler, piano (Rec. 1961) It is discreetly that the American violinist (Russian and Polish) is one of the leading soloists of the 20th century. Casals spoke of him as an extraordinary musician with the powerful and expressive that reminded him of his old friend Ysa˙e art. Under the baton of conductors such as indisputable Leonard Bernstein, Erich Leinsdorf, Fritz Reiner, Klaus Tennstedt Kyrill Kondrashin or he has performed with the greatest orchestras in the world in the most prestigious venues. These recordings were made in 1961, with a magnificent technique sound that does full justice to the two protagonists - which, in turn, render full justice to the complete sonatas for violin and piano by Beethoven, in a clear reading a real pure conception of interpretation without expressive bidding."
OK!
