  • Someone obviously had a plane to catch.

  • Fast and boring, because it's misrepresented as being purely in 1, rather than there being a struggle between the surface pulse of 2 and the deeper pulse of 1. Simply check Kleiber for the epitome of excitement in this movement, and nearly as fast.

  • Brilliant!!!

  • Where the hell on earth do you find such movements written these days ! I am a big fan of Beethoven

  • Nagyon virtuóz, de szerintem túl gyors ahhoz, hogy élvezni lehessen a dallamokat benne.

  • i lve it!!! i hate slow music! Beethoven is best!! fast, and usually violent, FTW!!

  • Let me tell you naysayers something. Maazel is a superb conductor who can galvanize any orchestra in doing his bidding. He is without peer in so much repertoire. It is fast; but it is certainly not boring. I heard him do this with the New York Phil about six years ago, and the intensity of intent and, at the same time, brio of the performance is invigorating. Not like those idiotic "early-instruments" groups who play fast because no one can stand listening them play too long! Maazel rocks!

  • @changjiang001 maazel has conducted all the relevant repertoire, all. i think that if someone is in the business for so logn at top level there will be a reason, no?

  • Fast doesn't mean boring necessarily. This is actually fast and boring, don't know why. I have a recording by Noseda and the BBC Phil wich is faster but exciting...a different thing...

  • who are you people to take one mov out of context and to judge about the tempo???

    If it´s really him,he has his point for sure. He doesn´t do anything without a reason.

  • Hey man! Take it easy!

    Maazel is very good with Puccini, but although this tempo is quite nice in some parts, it isn't justified in some parts.... I can't give this more than 4*, already considering Mr Maazel's wonderful work and the rarity of such a strange (and sort of wrong) interpretation of humouristic Beethoven.
