I read Ralph Moore's recent review of the new Dausgard BIS recording of B4, and concur about the underwhelming result.
I did want to comment on nomenclature, however. Ben Korstvedt has argued, persuasively in my opinion, that the most often performed version of B4 should be designated "1878 - 1881" rather than Nowak's 1878-1880. This 1878-1881 dating then encompasses the premiere performance of this version in 1881. Makes better clarity and sense to me.
