Re: Simon Rattle & Beethoven

I am a huge Harnoncourt fan. I'm really surprised to hear that there are people out there that don't like his work! I consider his Beethoven cycle a masterpiece. He's conducted our orchestra in music from Baroque to Romantic, and it's always one of the highlights of our season. Every note in the score has life and meaning. While his interpretations are not by any means "traditional", they seek the truth behind the notes, and are some of the most expressive performances I've heard.

I guess it's a matter of taste?
