I see a list like yours, and I think. . .

. . . wow! Aside from the Mackerras recordings, aren't you the least bit curious as to what has been happening in recordings of this music since the 70's? Or do you simply dismiss stuff that's been recorded since the 70's? Not that there's anything wrong with the versions you mention (I certainly like most of the recordings on your list too - well, maybe except for the Monteux recording of the Seventh!), but music making just didn't stop in the 70's.

And BTW, perhaps I wasn't clear on this, but I don't necessarily want to be aware of a strong "point of view" in a recorded interpretation. What I was really talking about was something perhaps more intangible - a sense that the players are aware of how their individual parts fit in the total concept and overall context of the music. A conductor can impart that feeling among the players, and an audience can sense it, even if the interpretation is pretty middle of the road.
