Is the 1988 live recording of Mahler's Fifth Symphony performed by the 
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Leonard Bernstein a holy cow?

I still (*) think it is bad, especially the first part (movements 1 and 
2), which sounds as if Berstein was imitating an inexperienced, 
untalented, cluelesss conductor to make a mockery of Mahler's 
sophisticated music.

Ref.: DGG 477 6334

(*) I already criticized this recording on 
rec.music.classical.recordings in 2008. My opinion has not changed. And 
again I think the finale is fine.
