The Daily Telegraph opines: >Broadly speaking, Barenboim, 56, is favoured by older players who want to >turn back the repertory clock to the four Bs - Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, >big money - of the Herbert von Karajan epoch. Rattle, 44, is backed by the >younger bloods, who knew not Karajan and would rather look ahead than back >to faded glories. Both Rattle and Barenboim are exponents of virtually the same orchestral rep, Rattle leaning more to towards the British end of recent music that Barenboim, and B leaning toward the French and American, but otherwise there is little difference between them.
