Schubert,
So, so true.
I find I give in to my prurient interests and listen to recordings for sound only, when I can’t get into vital music. This can happen for long periods.
Even so, if the music has little or no value I can’t stay with it for long.
What’s interesting, is that I disliked a certain well-esteemed performance of Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony intensely until I recently upgraded my equipment, and began to hear things I’d never heard in it before. And now it’s one of my favorites.
So, surprisingly to me, good sound can evidently affect your appreciation of music.
