It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: "the School of the Big Tone"

I agree that Eichler's article has an undercurrent of the suggestion that it's hip, sophisticated and fashionable to like Tetzlaff, making it read at times a bit like a promotional piece for the literati, though you have to admit, even that aspect of it is well written. And I have always been a Tetzlaff fan, and don't need convincing from him.

I think you read too much into his reference to Perlman, which I don't think was meant to be disrespectful. I think all he meant is that Perlman (like other such iconic figures) is often too slavishly imitated, and I agree with that. Though maybe also there is the idea that it's hip to regard Perlman as passe, and I disagree with that.

And I think there is no question that the "babes" are often at their best in modern repertoire. Hilary Hahn certainly is.
