I heard Badura-Skoda live a couple of times in the early 80s, doing Mozart.
Even then his Mozart sounded like something from the 30s or 40s, a very
romantic use of rubato and all sorts of excesses in underlining phrases.
Later I heard him on CDs, dabbling with the fortepiano. It seemed like
more of the same to me, though he did come up with a few nice touches.
He's no doubt a good musician, but he's stuck in a view of the repertoire
that most of us no longer find congenial.  By the way, his name used to
be ubiquitous in the Schwann (and Long Player) catalogues of the 1950s.
