"to what standard? I know what you mean. But I think we should respect pbarach and Thornhill's opinions."
The standards are out there......... The link is an example....... This IMO is the greatest symphony orchestra ever assembled......
I want to believe Cleveland is still one of the best in the world, but I just don't hear this type of playing anymore..........
(There is a performance of Brahms' Third Symphony on YouTube that comes scary close to the Szell/Cleveland standard....... But it's not FWM/Cleveland, it's Previn/NHK.)
