Just too big a sound

The big orchestra sound is too big and muddled. For instance, in the finale of the Variations on a Theme by Joseph Hayden the Bach-like pasacaglia and the plucking of the strings get blended in with everything else. A much better set of the Symphonies and the Variations is the Sir Charles Mackerras conducted version (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000003D2C/). In the Mackerras version every instrument can be heard for itself; it is far more light, concise and beautiful. Buy the Mackerras version instead.
