Rather surprising, since I believe that his previous Beethoven recordings had been panned for being too wayward; one would expect that at least, then, he might lead an interesting [if 'wayward'] performance.
Along these lines, I thought that Essa P. Salonen's 3rd [used in that movie; forgot the name], was also hideously underpowered and bland. It's hard to understand such performances these days, given the onslaught of HIP styles.

Well, in a certain sense, especially in the first movement of the Eroica, Thielemann's performances ARE wayward because of all the tempo adjustments he imposes, but to me, his are the types of tempo adjustments which always dissipate tension rather than build it up. Where tension SHOULD be building, Thielemann often lets the tempo run, which, to me, sounds amateurish.
Regarding Salonen's (Beethoven) Third, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that performance at all - I thought his Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh were all pretty good in the DG Concerts series, even with the lossy compression of iTunes. Which movie was Salonen's performance used in?
