Some judgments expressed here seem personal

[edit]

The paragraph that begins, "Melkus is not much remembered today ..." speaks of his "continuous, rather distracting, vibrato" and then muses further, "Oddly, he never adapted to methods that have been shown by scholars as more appropriate historically, even more recently. His older recordings are generally dismissed and have not been reissued on CD. It is a pity because, despite his less "authentic" sound, the recordings of the 1965-1971 period reveal in his playing what is lacking in most players today ..." and even though there is a mix of positive and negative that amounts to a certain kind of "balance", it is still subjective talk from a personal, not encyclopedic point of view.

I agree. Some of the judgements are rather subjective.--Thoughtfortheday (talk) 19:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
