I tend to agree with you Jon. I personally don't feel a need for faster cuts. That to me is just editing calling attention to itself. That doesn't mean I adored every cut, but I understand that cutting the performance of symphonic music is difficult. I don't really feel it's a skill I own.
I found myself enjoying the music, and feeling sorry the piece was over, despite the relatively low production value of the videography. Maybe that constitutes success in this case.
Best,
Shirley

As a documentary producer/director and occasional editor, and lover of
all kinds of music, I couldn't resist stepping in on this discussion.
Talking about doubling or tripling the edits with the Beethoven fringes
on the MTV soaked. I liked with Bouke did, and like the Ravel even
more, since obviously the editor can read a orchestral score. To me,
cutting a musical performance is more than a process of creating visual
energy, it is the opportunity to watch human beings doing some of the
most dexterous things we do-- playing musical instruments. In this
instance, editing should enhance this process, not assert itself with
necessary rhythms of its own. This goes for dance as well.
Just my "one ana two" cents.
