To my surprise it is Beethoven Symphony No7 - when I was young it was probably just about my favourite of his symphonies - now it is last on the list. It seems all too often hectic and unenjoyable.
Bright Hipp efforts from Krivine and Bruggen have not restored my love for it and nor has going back to old favourites like C.Kleiber/Ashkenazy and the like . Honeck's account I liked at first but with familiarity that has palled on me .
What , if any pieces , have you fallen out f love with and did a recording or a performance refresh your ears and restore the liking for the piece ?
PSListening to HVK's Philharmonia Seventh from the 1950s tonight has certainly been the most I have enjoyed it for a good while.
