The Cleveland Orchestra does sound "gentle"..... But at the expense of articulation and "explosiveness".... I've called the sound "dainty" myself.A great example of this is the Welser Most performance of Brahms' "Academic Festival" Overture at the Proms...... It's a nice performance, but I'd rather be plastered to the back wall, if you will. (There's also a recent NHK/Blomstedt performance, audio only.)

Agree with gentler attacks. Saw an interview of Franz during the same Proms describing what he wants and he's getting it. The Brahms Symphony 1 was superb with a gentler approach (I kept straining to hear more aggressiveness).
did you read, "straining to hear"?
It got a bit boring due to Franz' approach.
Disagree about the Brahms 1... The Welser performance was boring to my ears.
