Thanks, Steve. (Just got to this--I think the question was even further
back). Solti took risks. One of the least satisfying performances of
anything I ever heard was a live performance of Solti and the CSO doing the
Schubert Great C Major Symphony. It dragged. And draaagged. And that's
just the first movement. I thought it would never end. (But a friend of
mine liked it!)
I think I have exactly one Dutoit recording. Maybe I'll just keep it
that way.
