That's a good approach, no? I share it, too. Helps you really figure out what that music is about when you hear it done in so many different ways.

I do honestly like the recording by Queyras: there is something very sharp about it (in more than one sense). Maybe his moonlighting life in contemporary music (he played a lot with Boulez' specialist ensemble in Paris) helps in getting a fresh approach. And Belohlavek and the Czechs' playing here is ah so vigorous, clear, and alert. An antithesis of mushiness. Admittedly I've only very inadequately listened to the Rostropovich recordings of this work, but that's b/c in principle I keep clear of anything done by Karajan... but that's another story. Did you say you have the one with Ozawa, too, on Erato?

As I've gained in age I, too, have become more enthused about big orchestral playing showcasing some out-of-scale late Romantic works. I wonder what it is about. Even ten years ago I couldn't have possibly imagined myself doing what I nowadays secretly engage in the eventide: blasting Bruckner, Dvorak, and even Tchaikovsky (god forbid) to the hilt.

Enjoyment is a complex thing.
