Just a quick note, that I don't think many will read since the tread is now dated, about those HIP conductors.
Here, in this very small Southwest corner of Europe, people have been considering some conductors as the best available, and Brueggen, Immersel, Harnoncourt, and others, are often raved.
I'm not music expert but I can't help feeling they're doing it wrongly, those conductors. Why do I feel they play Beethoven like it was Haydn (for example)? Why is it so boring?
Brian's example of the Eroica is a really happy one.
OOTD I tried Sir Roger's Scottish symphony. I almost felt asleep. Where's the charming and envolving 3rd movement?
I tried a Harnoncourt's Eroica. Nice, but...
How boring!!!
In these occasions I often ask for Karajan (hopping Hans Hermann didn't touch the sound).
Regards,
Jorge
