It begs in interesting question. How much in the tendency of today musicians to “homogenize” sound and to play with a genetic color might be attributed that nowadays a recording media is a main avenue how music is consumed but recording playbacks are notoriously indifferent to tonal satellites. Charlie Schlueter reportedly did not go for “dangers to play” chromic expression during his Mahler recordings. Josef Hofmann reportedly reduced his dynamic accents in Rachmaninoff recording as he felt that records are not transparent for proper music timing.  Celibidache famously refused to consider his recordings as anything that has any connectivity to the actual performing event. Is it the media itself that has to be blamed of badly implemented media? I do not take side in posting this question, I just point out that sometime is hard to get where in a chicken and where is the egg
