Personally I don't think the Bergen orchestra was up to the task; quite clueless in fact, to the narrative, careful articulation and occasionally charming piccolo flutterings notwithstanding.To be fair, by the final dance, the bass drum activity seems far less crass and peanut gallery-esque, so why the indiscriminate banging earlier on? Was Litton trying to get an 80s-like Telarc buzz going in the media?
I've seen the Rite live with MTT when he was recording for RCA way back when, (I recall he turned and glared at a cold war-era cougher who couldn't hold back during the opening bassoon solo.)
Percussion was weighty and loud but not obnoxiously so.
I know critics rave over the Litton, but these are the same people like Gergiev doing pretty much anything, so what can one do?
