I've always wondered whether they could have accidentally used the wrong take when they edited it together, or something like that. I know that they were on a very tight schedule making these recordings, but that piece is so short, I can't imagine why Ansermet wouldn't have just stopped when the oboe came in wrong and started over. I guess we'll never know.
The mistake notwithstanding, I do think the Dorati/LSO is better, but I also think the Dorati MSO Mercury mono is even betterer.
