In Reply to: What a fatuous remark! If Jochumis your standard perhaps the "BACCCCH" you refer to is the Bach you heard posted by Timbo in Oz on March 14, 2012 at 04:23:26:
Timbo - you're in your element and having a field day! ;-)
I'm not an admirer of Klemperer or Jochum either (at least in this repertoire), but, IMHO, HIP mannerisms throw out the baby with the bath water! How 'bout some happy medium:
Notice the painting on the cover - the saint is on his knees, so he can't dance and gyrate around like he's in some HIP performance! ;-)
Of course, when I want the most in profundity and monumentality, or, gosh darn it, just plain old S-L-O-W tempos, I go for Giulini or Celibidache!
You can tell from their expressions that they're not going to put up with HIP!
