Tuning and tempo for classical music depends to the generation. I'm
unable to listen to directors, e.g. Herbert von Karajan, who were
children of their times. IMO it's not only the tempo, a major issue for
my taste is the tuning. I prefer 'A' close to 440 Hz. I'm a child from
the 80's, born 1966. I guess there are less classical recordings close
to 440 Hz. And of cause, the faster, the better. But IMO this is
regarding to the world we are living in today.
