"It should be Dvorak's Dvorak, not the conductor's Dvorak." Really, that's too simplistic - kind of like Landowska's, "You play Bach your way, I'll play Bach HIS way!" Only trouble is that, today, we're pretty sure that the way Landowska played Bach was likely far from HIS way. (That's not to say that he still might have enjoyed Landowska's performances. But that would be total speculation.)
No, even when a number of conductors legitimately claim to follow the score (Toscanini style!) they all manage to sound different from each other. There are too many parameters to control, and they couldn't sound exactly like each other, even if they tried! In a given performance, even the SAME conductor/orchestra won't necessarily sound like they did in earlier performances. The Neumann performances of the New World are an excellent example of this phenomenon, with some, as I mentioned, sounding noticeably different and more or less convincing. Even in regard to the two Kertesz performances of the New World, there seems to be a consensus that the performance with the VPO is quite a bit better than the one with the LSO. Are both of them Dvorak's Dvorak?
