I make such judgments... from 30,000 feet, so to speak.
People can point at this and that... but Joseph Szigeti's Bach solo Sonatas and Partitas just sound RIGHT to me.
Same goes for Vlado Perlemuter's Chopin--all of it. It all just sounds RIGHT.*
He entered the Paris Conservatoire at age ten, and was a prize-winning graduate at age... 15.
Perlemuter was close friends with Faure and Ravel. Rilly.
The Wiki is humbling, I think.
Yeah, Nimbus liked swimmy acoustics.
IMHO, if you can't listen through that, perhaps you need a new hobby.
Those "Swan Song/Last Rose of Summer" Perlemuter solo recordings are precious moments of pure beauty, preserved forever, as it were, in amber.
