  • Ma sentite cosa faceva un certo Toscanini con l'Italiana; o anche Karajan - naturalmente - e poi Abbado!

  • Bravo !

  • This is not Italian music.  It is Mendelssohn.

  • ohne Temperament... bin bißchen enttäuscht

  • Sure it's slow. All tempo's have their respective merits. This tempo for example is wonderful to acquaint yourself with the piece.

  • @ThePlutino I completely disagree. The spirit of these piece is in the music, not the speed.

  • Kurt Masur is a Master of the correkt tempi, I think. Instead of Karajan, who most conducted too fast in my mind. I enjoy conducters they give me time enough to listen to the separete parts of this wounderful age of muesic.

  • I saw Kurt last night in San Francisco, twas a fantastic performance. Though I was a bit out of place... I was the only 21 yr old in a sea of 60+...

  • Who missed the memo that this is Allegro Vivace?!
