I love to watch the left hand of the string players !

[@joedeegan3870]

Fantastic sound !!!

[@joedeegan3870]

A deaf man could tell this is a great Performance simply by watching the body language of the Musicians !

[@johnturley8621]

Some comments here fall a bit short of the mark, I think. I find the tempi this director has chosen, and his general approach to this work, to be quite appropriate; I think the composer would have appreciated it. I'm "old" enough to have heard most of the "old school" directors (I won't mention names!) interpret this and similar pieces, and I find it refreshing to hear a newer generation of musicians brushing off a few cobwebs from these venerable but seemingly stiffened pieces. I applaud WDR lustily! JAT
