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. What was the writer thinking?
