@kjftrio perhaps because Bartok and Stern were contemporaries....but as a child I preferred every other non-American violinist to Stern. Now I wonder what I was listening to.I heard Sterns Brahms concerto on the radio about a year ago and didn't know it was him until the announcement at the end. I thought it was so new genius who finally put technique and great expression together.
I find Stern's emotion unique.
