He may be one of the most important voices, as you say, when speaking about Mahler, but he knows nothing about Schostakowitch.

And you have an overactive imagination. That specific moment? it lasts what? the end? 10 seconds? 2 seconds?

get off the mahler obsession and move on.
it's really tiring.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
