I have about 5 versions of the Pastorale symphony, and for me, he brings it to life more than the others, even though the others are technically excellent.

He takes great care for the 'less famous' ones as much as for the 5th, and of course the 9th. But honestly, half the fun of listening to classical is comparing how different conductors interpret various composers.
