I dig what you are saying here Barry but that Masur/NY recording just seems to watered down for my taste. In other words it is not they aren't playing, we no that would be a lie, but the engineers did some "monkeying" with the brass section. I have had this problem with most of the MAsur/NY recordings on TELDEC. Take a listen to some of the older Metha/NY Teldec recordings and you can hear the difference I think. Then again I could just be out of my mind. My vote goes out to the CSO version.
