Deutsche-Grammaphone.  Catalogue number: 459 406-2
Coupled with the adagio from 10.

I went to a performance at the Royal Albert Hall where he conducted the
Royal Phil.  Pretty spectacular.  The first half was given a very energetic
rendering.  Pulls the tempo about all over the place.  I think I still
prefer my Abbado recording.  He managed to capture the ethereality of the
second half better.
