Perhaps I shouldn't have been too hard on that Minneapolis oboist - as I said, his sound really wasn't quite as thin as I remembered.
Re the Paray Mendelssohn - I didn't mention it because I didn't check it on this last go around, but I had thought it was much better recorded than the Haydn (and besides, I actually like the Reformation). I should check it myself now. I do remember liking the performance quite a bit better than the roughly contemporaneous Munch/Boston, because I felt that Paray got better, clearer articulation (probably helped by closer microphones!).
Re the Dorati Coppelia - again, I didn't mention it, but I did listen to a few tracks and it was better than I had remembered it (not bad at all, really).
One Mercury (stereo) recording that was never reissued on CD and which I'd love to hear again is the (in)famous Dorati Eroica with Minneapolis, wherein the great dissonant chords in the development section don't quite register - because all you can hear is the oboes, not the horns! ;-)
Another Dorati Mercury that was never reissued (to my knowledge) on CD is the Schumann Fourth Symphony with the LSO. This was another very late one, and it had the Mozart 40 on the other side AFAIR. In any case, I remember the Schumann performance as very compelling.
