Gustavo Dudamel (conducting without a score) violently contrasted the two, concentrating on hushed textures and interplay of lines in the former and ejaculating the brisker passages with horrifying, agitated urgency.
lol he wrote "brisker" lol
*Ahem*
It's only fair that Dudamel is best experienced live, then.
I've just posted a video from this Prom, the encore of mambo from Berstein's West Side Story-Symphonic dances.

I agree with the link OC. I was impressed with Dudi in Mahler 5 only in the first two movements.
I have yet to see him live.
