Partly too, if not largely, this blandness results from the recording process and its expectations wherein performers strive for perfection at the cost of expressiveness. Even orchestras that have not recorded for ages fall prey to it. A band like the London Symphony Orchestra, which virtually lives in the recording studio, can barely produce spontaneity.
Look at Michael Tilson Thomas. His SFSO live recordings are models (?) of restraint and good taste. Feh! But when he did the Mahler Second at Tanglewood several seasons ago, it was EXCITING and unusual.
