In Reply to: Brahms One, Cleveland Orchestra/Franz Welser Most .... [yt] posted by Todd Krieger on September 10, 2014 at 23:38:11:
Yes, this Brahms 1 from the Proms was tepid. However, this season in CLeveland he conducted a wonderful Brahms 4 and Violin Concerto (with Julia Fischer) which were recorded for BluRay release. I was in the hall, and I am definitely buying this BD.
I think they are also going to recorded the piano concertos with Bronfman this season.
Concerning Todd's complaints about the musicians' posture or movements or whatever he was objecting to, frankly I don't care if they tango--if that's what it takes to get the quality of playing we regularly get at Severance Hall for nearly every conductor. The musicians do it because they are into the music--this is not Lang Lang-style attention getting antic behavior.
