The problem I had with orchestral recordings on the DG label was the complete lack of depth due to the use of multiple microphones. It was clear that the engineers and/or producers were utterly clueless as to the existence of depth, let alone sound stage. Presumably the multi-channel recordings don't have this problem. Have you listened to that Mahler 6 in two channel?
For some reason the Archiv recordings also seem to avoid the problem. I'm not sure whether it is just a different bunch of engineers and producers or it is the size of the ensembles being recorded.
