In Reply to: Asylum recommendations are more reliable than Penguin, Gramophone, etc., guides posted by Jay Buridan on December 29, 2016 at 14:19:17:
Asylum posters are not beholden to the industry in a way that might induce corruption (e.g., good reviews in exchange for ad revenue). I'm not saying that anything like that has necessarily happened with the likes of Gramophone, Fanfare, etc. But OTOH, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if something like that did come to light too.
In addition, we all wear our biases on our respective sleeves here (at least I know I do - LOL!), so it's easier to tell what you're getting with AA posts in comparison to Gramophone reviewers who like to maintain their pretense of objectivity. Not to mention the well-known chauvinism of the Brits, known and loved the world over - it's part of their charm! ;-)
(And not to mention examples of reviews like those of disgraced Gramophone critic Bryce Morrison during the Joyce Hatto scandal. Morrison, scandalously, continues to write for that rag, even after being caught describing the same set of performances in completely different ways, depending on whether or not he thought these performances were by Joyce Hatto - in which case they were described in rapturous terms which he scrupulously withheld from the actual originator of the performances, Ingrid Haebler.)
