RE: What one of the reviews said about the Welser-Most Scherzo (and I agree). . .

Posted by Todd Krieger on October 31, 2020 at 21:51:18:
Welser Most has struck me as a conductor who does things "auto pilot"...... If the music has depth do it (modern Russian composers like Prokofiev, Shostakovich), FWM usually fails to capture it.....

The "auto pilot" on the other hand worked very nicely with the Schubert Nine........ (Although the one part that had "depth", the middle portion of the Third Movement, was the weak part of the performance. But otherwise did really well.)
