RE: Hey, Zarlino - I finally heard Honeck's Beethoven Ninth

"Those girlie-man dynamic taperings he keeps imposing (especially in the first movement) add an air of unwelcome effeminacy to the music - Beethoven is no longer shaking his fist at the gods, rather, he's gotten into finger painting! ;-)"

Sounds like my impression of the Franz Welser Most/Cleveland performance of the B-9..... (Although FWM did fare better in his Concertgebouw performance on YouTube.) I called the performance "anemic" on an Amazon review......
