It's baroque/classical period music that's been re-interpreted by a romantic era transcriber and played by one of our contemporaries.

Play it straight up and down if that's what you're comfortable with (because it's Gluck?). I don't hear it as a singular Gluck piece. It's a Romantic era transcription of an early Classical era composition and IMHO, rubato is a component of that Romantic style of playing.

Key? Don't know about that.
Question of taste? THAT'S a hard one to pin down.
Training background of the contemporary player? Teacher? Their teacher, etc.?
How did contemporaries of the transcriber play it? Mostly we can't know that.
Did Bach transcribers (Busoni being the most obvious) use rubato are is it this early classical era music that becomes the stumblng block?
Is it OK to play pieces differently from each other? Inevitable.
Why does AA flag "stumbling" when I've spelled it correctly?

Otherwise we'd might have to just throw in the towel and say the HIP folks are right and we have to listen to inferior sounding music
I picked on the rubato, but, really, that's an incomplete description. I actually don't disagree at all with Travis - the piece CAN work with rubato too. Just listen to Rachmaninoff playing it! I think what bugged me more was that Yuja's rubato was allied to a relatively quick overall tempo. Rachmaninoff actually takes MORE rubato, but his slower basic tempo seems to allow the rubato to fit in without disrupting the general "affect", if you will, and consistency of feeling. At least that's the way I'm hearing it right now. Who knows how I'd hear it in another month? ;-)
