Review title: Soft-Edged, Just a Bit Undercharacterized
Product review: Boulez is generally noted for his crystal clear textures and although that is present here to some extent, there is a soft sonic ambience that, for instance, takes away from the mystery and terror of Mmt III and the humor of Mmt II -- the Giuoco delle coppie -- is rounded off somehow. Everything is in place but somehow it doesn't have the rough good spirits that the classic Reiner/CSO recording has. I did like the First, Fourth and Fifth movements just fine, though. Although this is a good recording, it will not replace the Reiner even though that one has aged sonically.
