Title: Almost
Product review: This is almost a very good performance. Overall, the orchestra plays well. Overall, the direction is good. In general, it is a good European rendition. But... at times the horns drown out the crucial woodwinds. At times, the pacing is just too slow. At times there is just not enough "Uumph!" But I want to give Haitink an "A" for effort, because he is very close to having a very good performance. I think this is a very competitive performance compared to a lot of plain flops (e.g. Previn, Levi, etc.)and Haitink is very close to being very good.
