Query: The NYPO sounds "dead"

If you are looking for a great NYPO/Masur recording, look for the Dvorak Eighth recording. The sound is amazing. The brass is rich and smooth. The strings, powerful. The wind solos are beautiful. Everything you expect in a Philarmonic recording is there.Here, however, the orchestra has never sounded so tired and lifeless. The Allegro is slow, never really leaving the dynamic of mf. The woodwinds sound distant and fuzzy, espically the oboe solo. The second movement is also too slow. While the brass enter powerfully, showing the power of the Philarmonic brass players, the movement is uneventful and never exciting. The same can be said for the other two movements. In the finale, it is difficult for a conductor to make the orchestra sound dull and quiet. Here, the ending seems anti-climatic and leaving listener wanting more. The same can be said about the overture.
