So the Dudamel LP wasn't the first. I am not sure who produced and manufactured Wunder's vinyl. I just YouTubed his Grande Polonaise and sounds kind of interesting so I might give it shot.As for the Dudamel's performance, you are right in that I am pretty much black & white when it comes to what I like and I don't like. It's subjective as Hifi selection.
One can argue, suppose, that the Mendelssohn's tunes should be played out light and even as they are more about the subtleties and elegance. Certainly not as anguished and heavy as Russian composers or Beethoven's pieces even.
I've read that it was a live performance and it's usually you hear more daring interesting performance than a highly engineered *canned* studio recording. But obviously Dudamel decided to take a safer route.
I didn't realise how great Maag's reading is till I start hearing other renditions. :)
Keep in mind that I am not a hardcore classical listener or scholar.
