Pierre Boulez, "The Forbidden Record", Beethoven's 5th symphony

[otterhouse]

Boulez had ordered, that this LP may neve been re-issued again, because of the negative reviews 40 years ago.
Listening to it again, it certainly is a "different" view, but is it THAT bad?

For my years, not that bad, certainly. It's like a slow replay, allowing you to hear details that in a full speed performance can easily be lost. Interesting.
