@stevenchaney Indeed. It's disconcerting, evoking an emotion not entirely different than having one's toast falling and landing caviar-side down. One gets the feeling that wild experimentation should have been left behind at one's boarding school, because we all know there's but one true way one must enjoy one's tragedies.
WOW!!! What a blast! I've never heard this overture played so fast! It is almost a dance - what beautiful rhythms - that hold up well as this tempo. Definitely more exciting than most other recordings/performances taken at a rather more stately and articulated tempo. Wonderful, pleasant surprise.
this performance is very good but it supposed to be a tragedy. however,I love it!

Both Gardiner and... Böhm, in 1962, take this very fast tempo and they are right in my opinion.

I honestly think that this video is being played at 1.5 x normal speed.
the actions of the people in the orchestra do not seem realistic

Ye Gods! This is too fast; one can't savor the tones. This is NOT how one performs TRAGEDIES.
