And don't tell me that G-thing is genetic. It ain't. You, of course, are entirely entitled to this opinion, Roman. Personally, I don't share it in my listening practices (even though I shy from lute transcription on guitar in repertoire selection unless paid to do otherwise). However, I wouldn't be so bold as to prescribe my listening tastes for anybody else. Is Russell playing 18th-c. lute music any different than Gould playing 18th-c. harpsichord music?
