I exhausted myself at one time listening to string soloists and realized that the lack of clarity of line and classical balance just left me cold, so I stopped and focused on Heifetz. If I don’t feel his interpretation of a piece is less-than-satisfying I will look to others.
It’s just my choice of how to best use my time.
