Well, the Cleveland IMHO played some pretty mean Beethoven, but on
the whole, I find Telarc to be one of the dullest labels in the market.
Pristine, (and dull) recordings of the most standard of repertoire.  I have
yet to see an adventuresome program from the label,and the standard rep
they produce could have been phoned in from Batswana.
