grew up listening to my mom's (and aunt's) classical piano playing and my dad's hi-fi classical and jazz collection (extensive; played on McI electronics and massive DIY speakers). I took violin lessons while at the U of M from an immigrant who studied w/Ysaye (he was very old in 1970 when he instructed me for a little over a year). I had zero talent, so I desisted.
Anyhow, opinions of music are individualistic. What makes critics worthwhile isn't their personal musicianship: George Bernard Shaw was highly respected for the quality of his writing and the accuracy of his evaluations--- not his instrument playing.
he 'listens' to serious music because he believes he should.
Not because he just has to, like you and me.
Tinear just does things because he believes he should, not because he understands any of it, but because it is a badge he must wear.
Look around you and you will find lots of them.

That Tin spends more time arguing about music than actually listening to it. In all of this thread and the other Tin doesn't even mention any other single musician that he likes better (after all he doesn't own a single recording of Stern and yet he defends his reputation with such conviction) nor does he name a single violinist he finds lacking although he writes off an entire generation as robotic.
How much real listening (not background or car listening) can one actually do and go on the say the things Tin says in these two threads about Stern?
No depth.
Just attack.

d
you could have just as easily talked about some musicians as whine about being called out. That is if you had anything to say...
