Title: WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!
Review: OK--the recording by Telarc is as perfect as usual. But the performance of both symphonies here is REALLY weird. Especially the First--which lacks any momentum or suspense of any kind. The highs and lows are extremely even, and the overall pacing is too slow. I don't mind the slow pace so much--but there's no variety as marked in the original manuscript! Even Bernstein didn't take these kind of liberties. Levi just missed it. UNLIKE his Sibelius Symphony 2, which is one of the best recordings and performances of its kind.
