This happens with other instruments. I bought a solo CD of a very, very well-spoken of British horn player, and it is so out of tune I can't stand to listen to it.
I think some productive commentary can come out of it....like 1) I guess some people have a different concept of intonation than others and 2) maybe if you have a fabulous personality, you can succeed where others fail, even if they play better than you do. I see #2 in action all the time, in all venues. I try to make friends (real friends, not fake friends) with those people who have fabulous personalities, hoping it will rub off.
