Also -- and I think this thought is implicit in a lot of what people have writtem, but maybe it needs spelling out somewhere -- there's vibrato and then there's v-i-b-r-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-TO! Wide vibrato can sound like a nanny-goat with a grievance, but even such an extreme is not necessarily an atrocity under all circumstances. I can imagine it used to great comic effect in a score for a musical, for instance, or in the score behind a silent film's slapstick routine, or any time a character is a buffoon. But, in the Mozart concerto? Not so much. What kind of vibrato we play and when we choose to play it (or not) makes all the difference. For me, there's no one-size-fits-all rule. Everything depends on the context.
