@tulcod OMG i cant believe you even said that. Mozart Beethoven Haydn and Schubert usually started their symphonies with a fast movement. THAT is the classical tradition.

@pronetnh your right, i realized that afterwords... i was having a blond moment

@emmibow What's not original? This is the piece, not the simplified versions for high school orchestras. As a professional oboist, I've performed the piece many times, and I assure you, this is how it goes.

[pronetnh]

I found some things in it that point to a much more free interpretation than anyone would dare do now. As for quality, the soloists had to stand up and play as loud as possible to get the mikes to pick it up, and they had to time the speed of the music so it would fit on the wax master disc. If not, the disc had to be thrown away and the recording redone.

It's also wonderful to hear Marcel Tabuteau on oboe and that great woodwind section, along with the string "glissando" they used then.

[emmibow]

nope, i don't like this rendition. It's not the origional. why would you mess with perfection? the only reason is if your orchestra is not good enough to play the real thing. And if my highschool orchestra can do it, then i think these professional orchestras can do it as well!

I have Stokowski/Philadelphia Tchaik 5 in my collection which is a fabulous rendition by one of my top 4 conductor/orchestra combos. The sound on this transfer is awful. Please don't judge this recording on this upload. Two other great versions are Mengelberg/Concertgebouw and Hertz/San Francisco. Hertz/San Fran came as a great shock. Never heard of him till I found a downloadable album on Pristine Classical. Check it out.

Mozart was NOT from the same time period as Tchaikovsky...by any stretch. And they do start it a little slow for my taste. I don't even know who this symphony is, though. It's obviously a very old recording.

[tulcod]

musical pieces from that period usually (but not always, go listen mozart for that) start with a slow piece. then comes a very quick part, usually a climax and then some kind of reuse of the first part, but with a bit more power.

[frozinfire]

BEAUTIFUL!

Sounds so misty and glory in many parts of the first movement :)

Horrible. Too slow.
