I have the whole series of Bernstein last performances of the Mahler Symphonies. For the most part they are very good and shows how Bernstein matured over the years. That said, what I can't get is all the thumping and growning on the podium. There is more of that, then on other recordings of the same era. Something I don't need to hear. Also, why use a electronic organ instead of a real pipe organ. As far as I can tell, that's just plain sinful! The orchestra is very good, the soloists are outstanding, do why not all the rest?
