Title: Way off the mark, and Lenny knew it
Product review: Bernstein conducted this traditional British-style performance before historical interpretations caught hold. Since he didn't like that style but knew that it was much closer to reality than this dinosaur, he gave up Messiah as far as I know, saving is attention for Haydn's choral works, which he conducted superbly. This reading isn't bloated or draggy, but it's jsut way off the mark.
