I just listened. Kertesz and the LSO take the first movement of the New World a touch too slow. For me, it should canter along at a confident clip, as do Neumann and the Czech Phil on Supraphon, which is very nice and idiomatic, though to me Kertesz has the better orchestra. Better flute solo in the first movement, better English horn solo in the second, better brasses and percussion. Better playing overall.
You could parse stuff like that endlessly. No doubt there are a lot of good New World recordings out there.
