I agree too. Bernstein's recorded performances of Sibelius symphonies 1 to 7 with the NYPO is one of my favourite cycles.

For a long time I thought them inferior to the 1970's Davis/Boston SO recordings. Now I turn more frequently to Bernstein.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
String Quintet No. 6 K. 614
Orlando Quartet with Nobuko Imai - Viola
Interestingly, the first movement is 11'15 long and that is some 4 minutes longer than the Grumiaux and Juilliard recordings in my collection. Good though this is, it does not compare favourably to the Grumiaux recording, in fact when comparing the two I am looking forward to the end of the performance by the Orlando and Imai so that I can get back to the Grumiaux.
And now for the Juilliard......

Their speeds cannot be that slow so they must be performing repeats that the other ensembles are not performing.
