From an audiophile POV, tonally speaking, I think your observations have validity. Certainly the Giulini recording is 'warmer' in an audio sense as well as the sound of the performance is 'broader' and more mellow. No typical DG digital glare which on some systems could/would appear on the Bernstein recording.
But, that is not all that I hear, sonically speaking. The soundstage of the Bernstein recording is larger and the back of the stage more clearly heard. Listen to the drums in the rear left center of the stage.
These are large forces, but somehow sound more like a chamber orchestra can sound. It is as much the clarity of the drums that perhaps make the effect that I so much enjoy about Bernstein. His Schumann emphasizes rhythm and gives it a toe tapping effect. It moves me, doesn't put me to sleep :-)
I find as I grow older I really enjoy the scaled down effect of Harnoncourts's Beethoven, Berglands Sibelius, Mackarras' Schubert 8&9, and Brahms by Mackerras, or Bergland. I love the clarity and inner detail.
But that's just me. :-)
