this is my favorite recording of this piece, Charlie Vernon plays those pedal Bb's so freaking hilariously loud.

[timberlanes1972]

@horngeek8D No.

[horngeek8D]

@timberlanes1972 sorry, im not used to hearing the repeat at m. 42. its not in my recordings and I havent played it that way.

[happywandy457]

Amongst versions from Celibidache, Barenboim, even Sir Simon Rattle, Riccardo Muti has shown

great insight in Tempi and Brilliance of this master piece. He definetely knows what the orchestra has to say in each part without spoiling its great expression with academic batoon beatings.
