Review title: Never should have been released
Product review: This is a real botch job, from forces you'd expect better of. Karajan is sluggish and tubby and much much too slow and heavy, Mutter is dragged down along with him, and the VPO makes lots of mistakes, and the brass is thin. The audience at the end sounded luke-warm, and so was I, after this labored performance.With recordings by Oistrakh, Stern, Heifetz, Mullova, even Ferras, why this has remained in constant print for over a decade, when the majors are thinning out their classical catalogs, puzzles me. P.S. to you audio guys who bought this recording as some sort of "reference standard" for electronics: no wonder guys like you could never fix my speakers.
