The writer seemed to be having a crisis of confidence at that time, now that high-quality conductors "such as Giulini" were "choosing to record with the LA Philharmonic" (I think that was his phrase) rather than with British or European orchestras, and concluded that standards must be falling in London!
The one time I saw Giulini and the LA Phil live (on tour in San Jose - Schubert Unfinished and Beethoven Eroica), they were fabulous! I thought the Eroica was better than their highly regarded (albeit singularly slow-mo and not at all well recorded!) DG recording from that time. OTOH, I remember some of those Previn/LAPO/Telarc recordings from just a few years later put me to sleep - and how can Alexander Nevsky put you to sleep!? ;-)
