OTOH, I don't mind 10-11 minutes sometimes. Some conductors can pull that off. 12-and-a-half and slower is stretching the bounds of credibility! ;-)
I think where Kaplan fails to be convincing (at least to me) is when he makes a one-to-one association between a seven-minute performance (=love song, according to Kaplan) and a 12+ minute performance (=dirge, according to Kaplan). It's really not that simple, and music is acting at a more abstract level in any case.
I also found both his recordings of the Resurrection Symphony sufficiently uninteresting not to keep them around for very long. Overall, though, I think that his article you linked to was well argued, with the exception I noted.
