In another thread, Nick Perovich confesses strong and demanding preferences
for particular recordings of music in the Austro-German tradition, but not
so much for other music.  I have long suspected that this attitude is
widely shared and, what is more, that this is a significant reason for some
expressions of downright hostility (not by Nick) to some conductors for
whom that tradition is not their strong suit.  Any thoughts?
