I mean, if he had just said, "Well, I still like Stern's recordings!" (similar to what Rick and others have said), I wouldn't have a problem. Everybody's entitled to his own opinion. But instead, he tries to use his opinion to brow beat a whole category of musicians (i.e., present-day violinists) that he knows nothing about - at least as evidenced from his previous posts.

Taste is subjective, not necessarily learned--- though education to develop it is a prerequisite.
Your base and aggressive rudeness is striking; in my original post, I said not one thing that was of a personal nature.
You (I forgive Ivan because, well, he's Ivan, former whipping boy of the Outside) like to appear some sort of happy-go-lucky, flamboyant appreciator of feminine wiles and skills--- but your real personality isn't really that, is it?
Yes, I do find the overwhelming number of soloists I've heard to be unimaginative, uninteresting, and derivative. I don't make a point of remembering the names of mediocrities. Unlike you, I don't care a whit what a musicians' appearance is.

plus troll a lot.
EVERYTHING is possible.
Still angry from the public humiliations you suffered Outside, eh?
Ivan, move on. I picture a fat old guy, sweating behind a keyboard, nursing long held grudges, occasionally rising from a soiled and sticky seat to waddle to a filthy refrigerator.
Right or not?
Hatred will kill you.
Sniffle...
when he states "I could also understand why unsophisticated listeners who thought they were sophisticated would enjoy the show." ;-)
And lets get serious about Szeryng. No way he was a thousand times the violinist Stern was, I'd say closer to a hundred time and that's about it.
And it some if not all of the repertoire(Brahms), I prefer Szeryng to Heifetz. =:-0
However, my respect for Heifetz has increased over the years. I understand that both fiddlers (Szeryng and Heifetz) were very adept at the piano too. And having played some of the Heifetz Gershwin arrangements, I have really come to appreciate how clever they are and how knowledgeable about the piano's capabilities Heifetz was.
(OK, maybe I overstated it when I said Szeryng was a thousand times better than Stern!)
Another of my favorites.
Legend has it that Grumiaux and Haskil would, on occasion, switch instruments.
I also like it that when Szeryng and Haebler entertained guests with Mozart and Beethoven sonatas at private functions, they both played from memory.
the Mozarts and the Beethovens, they are, for me, without peers.

Szeryng was only 99 times better than Stern.
Watch it.
