Is your observation due to the recorded sound and ability of the new recording to bring this out? Since I don't have any Vanska recordings, the only way I will find out is to buy one and listen.Szell was known for making his large forces sound chamber like, which you say he wasn't good at, and now you say Vanska is good at it. Intriguing.
Do you think Szell's Beethoven is cold? You did not say so, but I am curious which Beethoven set is your cup of tea.
