This has long been a favored version in the vinyl world. I have it, and as
I often say, haven't heard it in a while, but recall liking it quite a bit.
I haven't pursued this piece in a while, and when I have, I've tended to go
for the opposite of what you're looking for. However, I do have some "fast"
Fifths that I remember liking oh so long ago and that are still in Schwann.
So with several caveats that you check further, I mention Abbado (London)
and Delogu (Supraphon). If you're really curious about these I have them
and could check them out for you--write me off list.
