Yep; it's a matter of personal preference. Sometimes I like the "up close and personal" sound, and I usually prefer it for chamber music, since it tends to provide better separation of the instruments.(My favorite of the few Pentatone disks I have is the Keisuke Wakao oboe recording.)I don't dig close mic'ing for full orchestra works, because it robs the strings of their lushness, and I don't believe it represents an acurate portrayal of the event from ANY seat in the house: nobody, not even the conductor, can be simultaneously five feet away from each section of the orchestra! I know most will disagree, but, as exciting as they are, (and I own eight of them) I don't think the Living Presence SACD releases sound as natural as their Living Stereo counterparts. To each their own.
As for the supposed deviation from the score by Julia Fischer, I can unequivocally state, "Uh...I dunno." I'm only intimately familiar with the Partita #3, having played most of it as bowing practice. If asked to guess, I'd say the Chaconne from the Partita #2 is the most likely candidate for monkeying around in.
If I can locate the score, and can find some spare time away from kids, wife, cell phone, computer, and customers.....
