Didn`t want to oppose to other board members recurringly - to each his own .... but what was perceived by "HutchFan" as "steely" to me is "pure" in the sense of clear and undiluted resulting in a magnifying glass effect .... interestingly Pollini`s Schubert never touched my heart, mainly because the forementioned approach seemingly doesn`t work with this composer`s euvre - but this obviously comes down to the way I prefer to hear Schubert`s music aka with deep emotion ....
