He takes Schumann’s Allegro molto vivace marking to heart and drives the first movement at a stimulatingly brisk pace. He also makes the most of the score’s dynamic markings, resulting in some pretty explosive contrasts–especially when the timpani loudly strikes or rolls. However, his one bad idea–going for an “authentic” period-style sound–proves fatal. Yes, the increased ensemble clarity and rhythmic acuity is striking, but employing, or simulating the sound of gut strings seriously undercuts the music’s power. The orchestral timbre is overly bright, as if someone had turned the treble way up. This brightness only gets worse in tutti passages, where it becomes strident.
