Review title: No, no, no!!
Product review: There is some fine playing by the Vienna led by Bohm here, but two glaring differences here just leave a bad taste in this listener`s mouth.The 1st movement in No. 40 is done waaay too slow. Just under 9 minutes?! This is Mozart, not a dirge. This movement is my favorite of Mozart`s music, but here, it`s almost unrecognizable.The 1st movement in No. 41 ends just after 8 minutes, and does not repeat the music like many other conductors do. Just feels like there`s something missing here.Check out Karajan`s 1977 DG Galleria performance or Levine`s digital DG Viennaone for excellent performances.Too inconsistent for the 2 greatest symphonies of the greatest composer.Too bad.
