You could tell the difference between Abbado and Muti, blindfold? i don't
think I could.
Haitink is a generation or half anwyay behind Abbado (mid 60s!) and Muti,
who are in turn 1/2 generation ahead of Rattle (43).
I think the newest generation actually seems to have *more* promise;
certainly Mark Wigglesworth, Frank Shipway exhibit great promise in the
recordings I've heard.
