In Classical music the effect of SQ on appreciation

In classical music there are often many different versions of a single composition that you may own or listen to. How much influence does SQ have on your appreciation?
As a recording is an artifact in itself, the presentation of the sonic factor has to come into the equation as does the interpretation.
in Mahler, as an example, the orchestration is vital.
A recording that is just so-so interpretively may be very attractive to the listener because of the sterling sonics of the orchestra.
So, how much does the SQ affect your judgement?

I wonder many of the following groups of people do or did 'appreciate' Monet / Van Gogh / Mahler?

The people that developed the Covid-19 Vaccine.

The people that designed and built and Programmed the Webb telescope.

The guys that landed at Normandy on D-day

The Military and Police that protect us all

I could go on forever!  On a list of important human endeavor and accomplishment, Monet. Mahler and Van Gogh don't make the list. 

Your 'story' was silly, and arrogant beyond belief.  And that's saying something on this forum.

Cheers
