It may not be the mix. Masur turned down the bass himself from the podium. From the beginning of his reign, and until very recently, Masur was extremely repressive of anything in brass below 2nd trombone, and put a damper on timpani as well. The Franck is one of his earlier recordings with the Philharmonic. In later years he allowed them to find their own level. The Masur/NYP Hary Janos is one of the best available for bottom-up balance on the famous tuba/bass trombone passage. One has to be very selective of Masur/NYP recordings.
