Sorry comrades, but David Hurwitz is right on the money here. This is so alive on a surface level and yet so dead where it really counts: its musicality.A great orchestra, dedicated sound-engineers and an eye to period performance will only get you so far in Mozart. Both Levine / VPO and Herbie / BPO both have something TO SAY in this repertoire. Uncle Claudio is content to play the notes and leave it at that - a deeper interpretative point is missing per se. And how cautious he is.Mozart is one of the most deeply disturbing figure in Western Civilisation and his output deserves a better fate than to become 'lift-musak', which is the case here. Uncle Claudio should stick to Verdi or Mahler.
