I like this Manfred Honeck interview on Mahler (link provided)

This gets better as it goes. He's very subtle, and his soft touch seems a  bit at odds with the brute force of Pittsburgh's brass section. But perhaps the answer to that lies in what he says regarding dynamics. Give him a try.

Thanks for posting this, Barry. 
 I agree with Honeck's comments about the effectiveness of "soft climaxes"--they don't all need to be loud to say something.

His comments about the positioning in Mahler's orchestra are also interesting:  a precursory effect to stereophonic sound?

If you are interested, there are a lot of more interviews with different conductors (chailly, Blomstedt, Boulez, Salonen, Maazel, etc.) at the Universal  site:

There are also transcripts of the interviews.
