This is EXACTLY how the finale of this piece should be played. Exactly how it MUST be slowed down. Every other conductor rushes the damned thing at the end.

I played it (second violin) in spring 1981 with the Haddonfield Symphony Orchestra in New Jersey.

This piece is the alpha and omega of all being. I hate Tchaikovsky's own criticism of this work. NO idea WTF he was thinking.

A finale to blow the roof off the great old shed, and rattle the rafters throughout New England. After the great abandon of Munch and Koussy.

In a word..... breathtaking!!!!!! This is one amazing performance - the orchestra is top-notch, but Bernstein is COMPLETELY at the top of his form - which always produced spectacular music :-+). The energiser bunny would LOVE this one: it just keeps going and going.......

LOL Were you on drugs while writing this or feeling a bit melancholic?? Bernstein was a great conductor, but jesus... he was nothing you've described. Life is a movie. One only have to act well, and Bernstein was with the greatest of actors.
