My point was that it should be possible to make reasonable critical observations about celebrated players, while recognizing that their professional status was warrented. I am not a huge Bloom fan, but a friend of mine who is played me the Szell/CO recording of Mozart's Divertimento K.131 for Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, Four horns, and Strings. That's Sony Essential Classics SBK62830. A steal for $7.99 where I work. I may not be Bloom or Szell's greatest fan, but this recording demonstrates the reason for their hold on so many musicians and listeners.
Music Minus One? Gimme a break.
