And the playing *was* georgeous. Ron sounded great. Levine's getting as good a blend as he can with what he's got to work with.I'm actually partial to the Abbado/VPO third. As a trombone player I relish the first movement solo with Mahler's copious markings actually observed for a change. The rest is fine, too. Good tempos.
