I'm referring to a certain flexibility in rhythm, tempo and phrasing that reveals the "character" of every musical gesture. It seems that only conductors born before 1900 - and raised in the opera house - can exercise such interpretive freedom without losing structural coherence. Probably helped out by having more rehearsal time than afforded these days!
I love how Andreae brings a real swagger to the dotted rhythms at the opening of the 1st for example. Another revelation is how Venzago (not born before 1900!) illuminates the unique string textures in the 2nd created in part by the independent double-bass part. A whole new world of color and texture that reinforces the link with Schubert - not apparent when played by a huge modern orchestra with its homogeneous tonal blend.
