Who will guess a conductor of Russian origin and the core of Austro-German repertoire will have a happy and memorable marriage? That is not to slight Russian conductors, far from it. They excel in many areas.Kondrashin is, forgiving the pun, the hero here as much as Beethoven, for you can hear that he paid careful attention to the score (although the first movement exposition repeat was omitted), and constantly tried to bring out the music's inner details.
