    But did anyone else feel disappointed with his second set, of symphonies from the Linz back to No 29? The brass seems to have been moved back a long way in the balances, which cuts back the thrill factor considerably when the earlier set seemed to make a special feature of forward horns and trumpets

    I agree with you - it was an anticlimax and a missed opportunity for 'more of the same' which, as you rightly say, thrilled the pants off the listener with the first set.
