I agree with all your points, Peter. The prime concern is to do justice
to the music. If the recording is impeding or distracting from that basic
goal, it is a bad recording.
Some listeners will *always* be distracted by the recording no matter
what, but I have just agreed to let them be who they are and get on with
my work.
