From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: Blomstedt is ninety-four (!), and credits upstarts for

I don't find Blomstedt's recent Beethoven fast at all..... At least his 7th doesn't fall into the trap of being speedy and glossing over everything...... His 4th was somewhat "reserved"...... He did a very good Ninth......

He does like the "new" scoring, some of the "redone" phrasings in the Ninth I personally don't agree with......

Of course, when one has been around that long, the tendency is to gravitate toward alternative scores and alternative readings, just to keep the music fresh.
