I also understand that you simply referred to the Jarvi/Mordkovitch recording, but such is my tank of bile about this abomination that I still feel the need to fire fusillades at anyone who cannot see how awful it is.
You ask: Do we know that DSCH didn't want schmaltz there?
UM, if you don't, I do.
And, by the way, you wanna talk about Schmalz? Hey, man, it was part of my daily diet in the Eastern European-influenced Teutonic household of my childhood. To paraphrase Randy Newman, I know what Schmalz is!😍😊😜
Also, yes, I agree Sir Neville had his place. He was a very fine interpreter of Rossini String SOnatas, for example. Then again, my ears have been deaf to this man's charms ever since I read that he couldn't follow Furtwangler's beat.
