Funny how many musicians did not like Isaac Stern. He was said to defend his position as the dean of American violinists very aggressively, to the detriment of younger American violinists trying to make a career. He was an aggressive, talkative wheeler-dealer who worked hard but also liked to party hard.
As for Earl Wild, it's hard to imagine a more different personality. A soft-spoken, courteous, consummate gentleman, but also someone who did not appreciate being mistreated or disrespected. When he had a bad experience with his Steinway piano and Steinway did not respond to his complaints as he would have liked, he switched to Baldwin and never played a Steinway again. It's easy to see how Wild wouldn't get along with Stern.
