But are you suggesting that the BIS engineers somehow expanded the dynamic range for this recording (beyond what naturally occured in the musicians' playing in the hall)? Or perhaps, if I'm reading your post right, you're thinking that Vanska himself is the culprit? Dave Hurwitz kind of suggests that too - he considers Vanska's extreme dynamics a mannerism. For me, the extremes of the dynamic range are simply an expansion in the arsenal of devices which the conductor can employ to generate even more expressiveness from the music (when used properly - and that qualification is of course a whole can of worms in itself!).
As I say, I do see where you're coming from, so perhaps we just differ as to how extreme a range of dynamics a conductor should use. There are probably a lot of other variables which enter in too, such as the particular piece being played, what kind of hall the orchestra is playing in, etc. Here's a link to Dave's review if you haven't seen it already:
