Polish vs. Russian

(1/1)

barry guerrero:
which is more polished, and which is more rugged?    ;)

Wunderhorn:
I think, the truer to the music, the less rugged. The more the renderer's self is in the picture, the less of Mahler...  ;D

barry guerrero:
does the more rugged renderer look like this?:   :P

(and by the way, I'm just clowning around)

Wunderhorn:
You are actually quite correct. Truth be told, the conductor is like a reputable translater of notable fiction, but he doesn't necessarily need to seek the author's intention word for word, instead he must find a way for it to fit comfortably in its new language, which is none other then the conductor's method.
