Title: A bit slow?!?!?
Product review: I do agree that the sets from the likes of Beecham and Abbado can be a bit too light and shallow, but Bohm is the complete opposite; he conducts not just at a snail's pace but with a weight of an elephant, and turns the delightful, charming and witty tunes of Schubert into a funeral march. There's a very big difference between adding more drama and depth into Schubert and changing the nature of his music although. His 9th is a very good one, but his other effort, especially his 5th, can be a chore to listen too. For a set that's heavier than Beecham's and Abbado's but not as heavy as Bohm's I highly recommend Wand's and Blomstedt's set, Blomstedt in particular conducts with broad tempos like Bohm but is much more lively and intelligent.
