A good review might make me more likely to attend a live concert,but a bad one may not.
I play a tiny bit of piano,and if a performer uses more rubato or a different articulation that I might,I figure no two performaces are the same.
I prefer ensemblesthat have been together long enough for them to understand how something will come out.
The cliche says a string quartet needs a decade to get good and I suspect that is true.
My pet peeve is a producer who puts together well known names to sell something.
There is a performance of Bach's Musical Offering that was put together with famous names,and it sounds like they rehearsed it once and then recorded it.
For me,musicianship improves the more the ensemble is together.
