Heard, not heart....maybe there is some kind of message there.
I have not heard his famous Tristan - I own a copy, which came bundled with Kna's Parsifal and the Varviso Meistersinger - haven't listened to the Meistersinger yet, either. I have heard chunks of his Ring, and IMO, based on that, Bohm is not my ideal conductor of Wagner. He does not let the music flow organically, from within the phrases, and bangs ahead bar to bar, lacking the repose to allow the orchestration to speak.
I recently came across a set of his Beethoven symphonies, on LP, for $4.99, and decided to give them a try, since others on the vinyl forum raved about them. My mini-review is posted over on the vinyl asylum, but in general I found this set to be extremely four-square and,(yes) dull. Actually I could hardly make it through the full nine- it felt like a duty, instead of the adventure working through the Beethoven nine should be.
One of Bohm's recordings, that of Mozart's symphony no. 39, was extremely important to me when I was young, so I was inclined to be favorable towards his body of work, but from what I have heard, dull and unimaginative are reasonable adjectives for his conducting.
