I have to agree with the "sameness" (and polish) of modern orchestras and conductors. BUT -- every now and then -- a somewhat "idiosyncratic" modern recording does emerge from the gelatin.Some favorites:
Elgar Symphony No. 2, Philharmonia Orch., Sinopoli
Resphighi, Roman Trilogy, Orchestra dell’Accademia di
Santa Cecilia, Daniele Gatti (Conifer 75605)Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsodies, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Ivan Fischer (Philips 456570)
Schumann, Complete Symphonies, Hanover Band, Roy Goodman (RCA)
Just thought I'd try to offer some cheer amidst the disillusion :-)
