Good overall, but a bit rushed in my opinion......a conductor showing off? Articulations are not clean at this tempo, and has been noted, the upper brass double tongue technique suffers, having a sloppy 2nd and 4th 16th. Balance? The top heavy sound is probably due to the recording not the performance.

Aside from the fact that I prefer the original score to the Fennell version, this was done pretty well. The only comments I can give: the articulation throughout the piece was rushed and undefined (double-tongue needs definition). Not many intonation issues; only a few in low-brass and clarinets in the trio.
