Watched a Prom video last night of Barenboim conducting Beethoven 8. I’m sure the East West Divan Orchestra is a very worthy thing, but it was a dreadful performance. The development seemed to fall apart. The second movement lacked grace. The fourth was interminable. A wasted half hour. Video now deleted.
Karajan good. Klemperer better.

Glad I missed this performance.
I will make sure I do not listen at a later date.
