Title: Brilliant, loving, passionate, compassionate
Review: Ben Zander's Beethoven and only his competes with Toscanini's. Zander's tempos are even more as Beethoven directed than are Toscanini's, but most important is that the 2 conductors share attention to the passionate equality of "masculine" - aggressive and "feminine" - lyrical elements. Most performances get passive and wimpy during the lyrical sections, and make arbitrary decisions about how to distort the intended tempos.
