It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Stern is a consensus favorite in Bach???

That's news to me - and Heifetz lumped together with Wilhelm Kempff? I can't imagine two more disparate artists - Heifetz the very definition of brilliance, with Kempff the personification of middle European moderation.

BTW, in the Earl Wild memoirs I've just finished, he devotes a whole chapter (or close to that) to how much he hates Isaac Stern! One of Wild's assertions is that when Stern "saved" Carnegie Hall (Wild is very skeptical about this!), he had a private sound feed built in from the stage to his (Stern's) NYC apartment so that he could "spy" on what people were saying during rehearsals!
