Interesting comment, and I'd be curious to hear how others feel.

Very recently after reading a couple Music Web reviews I bought a couple
of Munch/BSO CDs just re-released on RCA Red Seal.  The reviewer there
had been praising the BSO and the 'greatness' of the orchestra.

I still think something is missing today.
