Yes, it's just that the unevenness was unacknowledged by himself and far too many others. Still is.And I became bored with people telling me that Karajan was 'the greatest', from the late 1960's onwards.
Fwoop was indeed the problem, just IMO.
BTW Australians are rather more alert to this particular trait and tend to be particulary irrittaed by it. AKA the critique ranges from 'being a bit up himself' through to 'Fwoop', Geddit!
I have a few HVK rcords which I treasure, EMI's Brain Mozart Horn Conc's eg, and Deccas, and some 1960's DGG LvB stuff. I think the DGG box of the Strauss tone poems is excellent - for another example.
I stopped buying HvK quite soon, in the late 1970's, and I can cope with that. Budget went on more Jazz, Popular etc and on choral, and the 18th C and HIP.
