Play his works they way you think they should be played, but obviously follow the 'advice' on the sheets. the man is dead now and we have no recordings so its impossible to play them perfectly, but its all opinion. Personnaly, i dramatise it all, as he was a romantic composer. But you must not lose the subtleties in the music, make hints and suggestions of parts that are to come later in the piece, or make it sound like its about to explode when you know its not going to. Take the music on a journey. Thats what i do anyway
