Why does recorded orchestral brass never sound right?

This is just a question of personal curiosity, fortunately I don't have to do this. We went to an orchestral concert last night, and I realised once again that I have never ever heard a recording or a broadcast of a full orchestra that caught the brash way that the brass instruments cut through the full sound of the orchestra. Strings sound fine, woodwinds yes, piano great, but brass? Nah! It all sounds smooth and well-behaved, always.

Can anybody tell me why that is?
