Criteria for declaring a performance "good"
Posted by: mikeeschman on 22 November 2008
1- if it's absolutely, exquisitely on time.
2- if it's absolutely, exquisitely in tune.
then it's worth hearing. if it's old (say 1930)
and it meets conditions 1 and 2, you will be able to listen down into the recording and hear the musicians in all their glory. if it's a good recording, so much the better.
For all other matters :
"de gustibus non est disputandum"

Mike,
I've read your intro several times and with great interest.
Let me just say, straight off, that I am by no means musically educated. From what I've heard of you posts, you are very knowledgeable in this area. I have the greatest respect for those with musical ability and it appears you are solidly in that camp..
Having said that, I must admit I have no idea what makes a good performance. .. So I guess my answer is.. f*cked if I know !
Mostly I just go by feel.
Cheers and Happy Listening
