I agree with your review in virtually every detail. Take away Wunderlich and Crass, and it's a very, very ordinary performance. I've never really understood the "sacred cow" status that this recording has had over the years, nor have I ever understood why Bohm is considered by some to be a great Mozartean.
There's no perfect recording of this opera, but the one that you recommend (Solti I) comes pretty close.
