Your metaphor is terrific. Regardless of "how" music such as that is played, if the basic structure of the piece is adhered to the main point is made. Put another way, I'm not sure (even in my recommended performance) that I was completely convinced by the idea that ANY performance of the 5th could sound "triumphant, optimistic" -- I merely thought that "removing some of the (Russian?) idiosyncrasy" (and adding a little Telarc bass!;-) might be one answer.
