Exhilarating! I love also Esa Pekka Salonen's version. Just discovered this one and will purchase it!

Surprisingly, many of Dorati's tempi are what metronome marks Stravinsky wrote in his original score, only later to "soften" when few seemed even able to approach them. Dorati hits and sometimes surpases them. Not recommended as the ONLY recording you should have of this, but should definitely be in your collection. The original CD sounds much better too.

Fulltilt Speedway Spring Rite Boogie...

reminds me of Scherchen's speedtrip recording of The Messiah

Not Just fast. Entirely thrilling.
