Can't say enough good about this - brought tears to my eyes - outstanding conducting and playing - soprano was flawless - other lead singers very good - my favorite on CD was Solti 1972, and on TV a PBS show in the 70's by Shaw/Atlanta - this recording is as good or better than any of those. Amazing that it would be available with decent quality on YouTube. Just amazing.

a true master conductor is somebody who gives his audience emotion. should we compare askenazy to karajan or toscanini or bohm or stokowski or bernstein? all of them have their different recordings of this piece, all, and i mean ALL, are genuine masterpieces. the question of "the best conductor" is altogether impossible to answer, as countless conductors have achieved this. they shouldn't be compared.as for the sportscoat, i tend to agree =Pit's the new fashion for concert dress these days.

please look at Toscanini for how a true master conducts- this one is too strident- and he looks like a shlub with sportscoat over a t-shirt

Overall good performance, but the baritone's lack of power in his voice took me off completely... He looks old too...
