I can understand the desire to listen to a good performance but if the recording is not palatable I would never play it often. I will always appreciate the effort and talent of the artist but inevitably I will start getting distracted by the poor recording. When I upgraded my stereo it became a much more revealing system. Many of the recordings I previouisly appreciated rapidly became shelfed (including Bridge or Sighs). I rarely take it out and when I do I remember why it's not played often.
