It is primarily and exclusively for honesty that emerges from the whole.
Here, no neurotic higher bid, no subjectivity claimed no exaggeration as one can find in other (Haitink, Solti, Chailly, Rattle) the probity foremost. As if the Chief had made the bet to comply strictly with the writing of Mahler and just go as every measure of the score, every detail; absolute objectivity.
And this bias, unlike one might fear, no leads or boredom or coldness; No! It is the respect of the author and of the work and that's it! Thank you to the Master writing genius.
And all there, each instrument has its place and means, thanks to the orchestra and sound engineers.
And the assembly is to be completely homogeneous! Whatever the symphony we listen, we are sure to find the same integrity anywhere in another and continuity between each. Thank you to the Chef!
Tenndstedt successfully complete the perfect, flawless, an educational integral.
Ideal? Ben voila! Not sure! ? Because defects, weaknesses, excesses of some and others may suit each of us according to his differences, his own subjectivity. There, some will prefer martial interpretation, other, more poetic, more pastoral, or more committed or more tormented even romantic if not Beethoven ...
The ideal is to make all this knowledge together. Few got there! Kubelik? Neumann? Can be! But it is subjective!
At Tennstedt point of all this, the work and only the work! To hear rather than feel! And it does!
To complement its own preferred to hear the work objectively! But will not suit everyone!
:)
