you dislike Harnoncourt and like Lenny.I just got a Bruno Walter stereo rehearsal LP of Beethoven 5th, Columbia 2 eye, and compared his conception of the 1st movement to what was recorded on the full 6 eye LP. Where the rehearsal is very fiery, the other is distant and rather sluggish. Don't know why. And the 6 eye mono NY Eroica to my ears is very good, if not one of the best.
