The movement is written mostly in 5/8. The way to feel these rhythms is to understand the stress/accent. In this movement it's not just a count of 5, the first and third beats are strong, as in DA-da DA-da-da. However the trio section of this movement is marked in 3/4, though I hear it more like 6/8. And there are some interruptions marked as 2/4, but with a triplet so it sounds more like a 7 (2-2-3). See Wikipedia article on odd rhythms in western music.

The second movement is such a pain to play, its in 5/8 and drives orchestras crazy. It is so rewarding to get it right though and is absolutely beautiful.
Ansermet was such a marvelous conductor, especially of Russian, French, and Spanish music of he nineteenth and twentieth centuries; many thanks for sharing this. It would be wonderful if you or someone would upload his amazing recordings of Albeniz:IBERIA, Falla:THREE CORNERED HAT, and Ravel:Orchestral Works.
What a pity, that Borodins 3rd symphony is unfinished. Your version is a bit different from my score. I think there are different versions of the end of the Scherzo...

I don´t have those, but I will surely upload his rendition of Bartok´s Concerto for Orchestra and Rimsky-Korsakov´s Antar Suite.

Many thanks! I'm especially looking forward to hearing ANTAR, as I have not heard it for many years and have never heard Ansermet's recording.
