: If you're referring to the "In tune, in time" comment, the cellist in question was dead serious.
I couldn't agree more (except perhaps with a dimmer view of Ma and the so called 'modern school' who share much in common with Rostropovich...) Dorothy Delay preaches "In tune, In time, Good tone" saying that everything else is just a matter of opinion. Is it any wonder we're in trouble??
To the original poster- have you ever heard Piatigorsky, Casals, Feuermann or other cellists of this era?
