I watched it again.... The recording is relatively high resolution.... (Especially by YouTube standards.) The "microdynamics" are captured here far better than most, but the "bombastic" character that is often heard in poorer recordings seems "tame" by comparison, because there isn't much dynamic compression going on here. (The recording here is better than most NHK performances I've linked to.)
People attending live concerts are often "shocked" over how "unspectacular" it sounds.... (They often expect it to be even more "bombastic" than on recording. This was a surprise for me when I first attended concerts.) This clip IMO provides a sonic perspective more consistent with what I've experienced at live classical events.

He's plenty *bombastic* on Tchaikovsky program.
In spite a poor acoustic at CSO, I always enjoy the real time dynamics and harmonics of orchestra so *unspectacular-ness* must comes from the direction of the conductor.
There are plenty of what I call *benign* 9th on the recording, too.
I have noticed however I enjoy guest conductor's performance than Muti conducting the CSO in general. Some performances had me in tears even. But never with Muti on the podium.
I thought Muti's 5th with Philly was all right so I had my hope for his 9th with the CSO but not exactly what I expected to be.
I hope to experience a moving emotionally fulfilling 9th in the future.
What's wacky is I don't recall a truly memorable Ninth from Cleveland.... The closest was Christoph von Dohnanyi, but even that performance had some strange quirks.... I heard Leinsdorf do it in the flesh, and he totally butchered the piece........ Maybe even worse than Welser's...........
