I hope that in spite of the lots of time has passed, some of you will want to comment.
I started by listening to 4 different recordings of this piece. I think it will not be very important to name which ones. After fully listening to all four, I listened to the main pair in the multitrack and wrote out what I like and what not. The first thing that became apparent in the recording is a lot of double basses and cellos in comparison with any of the four references. Then, I think everyone who worked with this mix noticed that woodwinds sound a little louder than they should. And finally, I did not like the balance with the noticeable predominance of the piano over the orchestra. It was these three points that I tried to correct during the mixing. I hope I succeeded. Although the problem with the woodwind practically remained.
I didn’t do automation, although for the perfect balance at every moment could do a little magic. Since I did not make big changes to the balance of instruments, I thought that let the balance be on the conscience of the conductor, yet he understands this much more than I do.
