Well, the Cleveland IMHO played some pretty mean Beethoven, but on the whole, I find Telarc to be one of the dullest labels in the market. Pristine, (and dull) recordings of the most standard of repertoire. I have yet to see an adventuresome program from the label,and the standard rep they produce could have been phoned in from Batswana. Kevin
