To indulge in criticism by adjectives: Limp, lacklustre, and lifeless.
It's not just that the articulation is slack, it's as if Dutoit has very
little idea how the music is supposed to go.  In its own weak way, it
reminded me of Solti's unbelievably wrong performance of Copland's Rodeo.
It's like the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle.
