O Peter Gutmann πάντως δεν εντυπωσιάστηκε από την ερμηνεία του Kaplan και δε μασάει τα λόγια του:
Kaplan's reading is sterile. Every note is in the right place, every tempo is scrupulously observed, every accent is correct. The London Symphony Orchestra plays well for him - far better than they did in their Stokowski and Bernstein recordings - but they seem to be merely performing their duty rather than performing one of the most boldly impassioned works in all of music. Despite the thoroughness of the scholarship and the sincerity of the intentions, something essential is missing - the vision of an artist. For the Resurrection, it takes the unfettered wildness of Oskar Fried, the warm humanity of Bruno Walter, the steadfast inertia of Otto Klemperer, the huge power of Georg Solti, the surprising freshness of Carl Schuricht or the overwhelming emotion of Leonard Bernstein. Craftsmanship may get by with perspiration, but art demands inspiration.
Τα bold δικά μου.
