I don't know what you've heard before, but this recording had been playing
here, as I was prepping for the San Francisco Symphony's concert with MTT
conducting. It seems to me to be a gutsy, gorgously recorded version.
The concert was electrifying, BTW.
I wonder, though, about the fourth movement, the adagietto: it's
beautiful, very moving and all that (for strings and harp), but if it were
played at a more lively tempo, wouldn't the parts fit together better? I
felt like I heard the funeral march/gloomy point of view of life, then took
a breather to fall in love, then heard the comic view point of existence.
If the adagietto were faster, the sequeway would be smoother. Anyone?
