Had to turn up volume to get the bass "glow," and to hear the delicate string tremoli under the playful solo flute. Problem is, the strings become too loud in the climaxes.
I notice that Deneve is pretty straight-forward in the Paray/Ansermet mold, which, to be fair, is what Debussy wanted.
I still prefer Haitink's Vaseline-on-lens recording with the Concertgebouw.
