Haitink also has another version on Philips with McNair which is almost as good. What I like greatly about Haitink in this work is how he builds toward the climaxes and brings out the "youth" of the work. Also, I find Alexander's voice just perfect for the 4th movement. At least I think it's Alexander; I don't have access to any references at the moment. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
