True enough! Much as I might love a "push it toward the wall" brass
section, sometimes it was as if the strings and woodwinds didn't

Of course that didn't stop my buying CSO recordings:-P
When Barenboim took over, the orchestra seemed to sound a bit more
balanced.
And now with Haitink... well! Mahler anyone?
