Weclome! Since you mentioned Bernstein, I'll ask a nagging question I have regarding him. Whenever I think of Bernstein, I think of music performed at a frenetic pace. Recordings on which he was the conductor always seem to be the shortest-version options for any given piece. Do you know why this was? What was behind his choice of very rapid tempi? Thank you!
