Wonderful. Interest in this symphony seems to go in cycles. In the 1970's there were only 2 recordings of this piece--Ormandy/Philadelphia and Previn/London Symphony. Then in the 1980's and 1990's dozens of recordings were made for the new cd format. Most of them took the repeat in the 1st movement--bad idea. Lately there haven't been too many performances of this symphony. I wish more recordings took the cut in the last movement.
