This reminds me of an experience I had playing in an orchestra with the 2nd clarinetist of a regional pro orchestra. Sitting next to her I didn't like how she sounded at all. It was, I thought, an unpleasant, raspy kind of tone color. However, when I had the opportunity to hear her from the audience section, I was astonished to hear a glorious clarinet sound that soared above the orchestra and filled the hall. I decided never to judge someone based on what I heard just a few feet away.
The recording is on the dry side....so you can hear the details of Ms. Phillip's playing and tonguing. I would say this is the equivalent to sitting next to her on stage as opposed to what is heard in the hall.
That is also a good reason to practice at least some in a very dry room, so you can hear those details. If you haven't done this, you probably won't like it.
