I have the Masur/NYP recording, and have never been so dissappointed with a CD. The playing is fabulous, but the recording mix is terrible. The engineers have the low brass turned down so much they sound like they are in the next room. In addition to the CSO recording, also consider the Dutiot/Montreal recording. Ellis Wean sounds great, and I think Joe Alessi may have been principal trombone when it was recorded, although he may have been in NY by then.
