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

Sorry to chime in so late (and this actually is my first posting here),
but for me this actually is a holy cow, but maybe just for one reason: I
was there when it was recorded in the Alte Oper in Frankfurt. (In the
first part they played the "small" A-Major symphony by Mozart, which
Bernstein conducted by heart.) I haven't listened to the CD in quite a
while, so my memory may be a bit dim, but what is it you actually do not
like about the first two movements? Just three derogatory adjectives do
not really help me to understand your criticism...
