'Warmed-over porridge'... That sums it up nicely...
Compared to the Leinsdorf set, this one sounds a bit sat on and rhythmically challenged. Lacking spontaneity. Particularly in the slow movement, tension just isn't there. Everything sounds a bit artificial and ever more ponderous and ostentatious. Did John Williams get an aha-moment for the Star Wars soundtrack listening to this? Maazel's direction is full of Hollywood moments. This certainly wasn't my style.
