Not enough bite.

I agree. I have two versions on CD, one of which is the Bernstein version. I just cant quite seem to warm up to it, although I do like Bernsteins work in general.
My copy is an old mono 6-eye. Performance was OK overall, but the woodwinds are very recessed--some really important stuff is virtually inaudible. I also played the Dutoit/Montreal LP on London, which is the recording I "imprinted on". That one seems to have quite a few advocates. It's well-recorded and the complex detailed score comes across quite well. Jarvi made a nice one with Detroit about 20 years ago which has very well-recorded percussion--really adds to the visceral impact of the piece.
