There are some very famous violinists that have released recordings with wayward intonation. Here are but a few examples:
In 1997, I sat 10 feet from Ruggiero Ricci during a solo recital of unaccompanied works. He was off pitch the whole night, most of all in the Bach E-major Partita. Yet the Ricci personality came through and he played the entire concert with zest and appeal. I enjoyed the concert thoroughly, as did everybody else. The audience, many of whom were professional violinists and music majors, adored Ricci. Of course, had I played like that my colleagues would've crucified me. But I'm not "Ricci". Students of Skidmore College in Saratoga NY will want to check out the video of Ricci performing at this concert.
Gil Shaham, Shlomo Mintz, Menahem Breuer (concertmaster of the vaunted Israel Philharmonic), and Maxim Vengerov gave a wonderful concert of the Vivaldi Quadruple concerto years ago. Vengerov was sharp in quite a few sections, and Breuer was completely off most of the time. Of course, the "live" CD recording of this work featured perfect studio edited intonation from all 4 players. Did the audience care? Nope - it really was a spectacular concert anyway.
I've mentioned before how Heifetz mistuned his violin for the last 2 movements of the Bruch Scottish Fantasy on his video. Hasn't anybody else noticed this? He's almost a half tone off, that's how flat he is. Even after he tunes with the orchestral oboe, he's STILL off. Of course, that didn't negatively affect the performance and he got a standing ovation anyway. Mind you, this is Heifetz - the paragon of intonation in the violin world.
And who can forget Fritz Kreisler, whose intonation in many of his own recordings is truly wayward by modern standards. Yet he's one of the best selling violinists of all time, and we all forgive that intonation because his playing is so adorable.
There are countless other examples of glaringly wayward intonation being released in recordings by some very BIG names.
