High marks for clarity and balance, as one would expect from Maazel. What is lacking is energy and intensity in the more aggressive passages. Listeners used to Pierre Monteux or Antal Dorati will probably feel the music is trudging through mud at times. There are no significant flaws in the performance or in the recording -- which captures the wide range of dynamics in this work. There is perhaps more balance in the winds and brass than I've heard elsewhere. Many details that get lost in the buzz of such complex orchestration come through under Maazel's direction. Still, the lack of vigor (which seems integral to such a self-consciously primitivist ballet) keeps me from giving it five stars.
