I have been thinking for a day about it. Welser-Möst, that I
generally like, lead Cleveland a year ago with B8. I would not talk about the rest,
but the Adagio made me wonder. The super slow tempo others might consider disgusting
is right in my alley and if it is 20x slower it would be fine by me. Still, the way how Cleveland sound and how Welser-Möst
end the phrases before the long poses make me to feel that it is not an anticipation
of something next but rather a Cosmic Void. At some performances somebody like Celibidache
makes the Voids even longer but they are somehow filled with anticipation and the
memory of what was before. With this Welser-Möst version for some reasons the Voids
are true Voids, and they are not connected with what was before and after. I just
wonder what might be responsible for it is possible to “fix” it with audio
methods.
