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

Of course the kudos belong to Teri Noel Towe, the author of the quoted passage, and....

One should also note M. Towe (sorry i I don't knpow the gender of the author) has a quite interesting discussion of other recordings, giving high (and deserving) praise to both Klemperer, Shaw and Rifkin. From the web site quoted by Clark, I learned that Shaw recorded it first in 1947, on 78s, apparetnly one of the last big recording projects on 78s. Also, in that 1947 recording, the instrumentalists were of a high caliber, for example Oscar Shumsky playing violin. It reminds me of the famous Scherchen recording of the St. Matthew passion, which featured Walter Barylli on violin.
I lack the discipline to be expert on this piece, when I have listened to it, my choices have been Klemperer or Shaw.
