I totally disagree with the idea that not enough credence is given to older recordings. In contrast, I feel that entirely far too much credence and importance is assigned to historical recordings. Your other points make more sense to me. However, the fact that Walter's interpretation may (or may not) have come directly from Mahler, has anything to do with whether I enjoy it or not. I made that distinction the first time. I'm not doubting its quality at all. Not my ears, it sounds sound breathless throughout.
