He is a great Beethoven interpreter as a soloist and he has chosen to take on a mammoth task with all nine symphonies performed with a young, relatively inexperienced orchestra from the Middle East- who are not the European Youth Orchestra or the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester. The performances they have produced together are creditable but they are different from the product that would have resulted from a tour with the BPO, CSO, Concertgebouw or the two above.
I think that is a reasonable summing up of the Proms performances, They weren`t very bad but not memorable. Best was the 8th in my opinion. It was a huge undertaking and hopefully they will improve.
