It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: DB - I do understand where you're coming from

Thanks for the link. I read the Hurwitz review and found it unsatisfying. He seems to be saying that if an interpretation strikes him as quirky and he doesn't like it, it's a bad performance. Am I being unfair? At any rate, I appreciate the fact that Vanska is not just doing a by-the-numbers cycle with his current orchestra. Good for him for trying to find some innovative twists to his approach to scores that he's done probably dozens of times. Mr. Hurwitz surely recognizes that what he hears as mannered intervention might strike other listeners as fresh and invigorating.

And you're absolutely right about the dynamics: I see them as Vanska's "thing," rather than any unnatural intervention on the part of the BIS engineers.
