Released on EMI Records, this is Andre Previn conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Symphony No. 5, mvmt 4 (Finale), composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. This was recorded back in 1977 at Orchestra Hall. Of the four recordings I have, two of which are Chicago Symphony Orchestra, I enjoy the raw energy of this recording. Though limited by the technologies of their day, this recording, in my opinion, has the template for tempos, especially the powerful ending. The strain in building the final chord before the last explosive finale is amazing!! As always, comments are welcome and encouraged.

I agree completely that Andre Previn's version is the template for tempos. I just listened to a 14-pus minute version of the last movement where the ending was at half tempo and it just didn't have the punch that this does. With a few exceptions I really dislike conductors radically changing tempos. I think they do it just to be different but the goal should be to draw out or enhance a particular passage.

@workerbeeforeternity - I agree. You also have critics for slamming certain conductors because they consider their tempos as safe. Sometimes it's okay but most times, it's not. I'm gonna upload a CSO recording today and show you what I mean. I'll upload Bernstein with the New York Phil and Solti with the Vienna Phil. let me know what you think.
