Aaron Copland spectacular and difficult 3rd Symphony played by the Interlochen Arts Academy Orchestra conducted by Octavio Mas-Arocas these are only high school students!!
@FellunB I agree with FellunB. This movement of Copland's Third is extremely reminiscent to me of the first movement of Mahler's First, and the openings of both should be taken at about the same tempo. BTW, in his writings, Copland always spoke highly of Mahler's handling of the symphonic form.
The recording I listened to over and over by Leonard Slatkin/St. Louis is at this same tempo or even slightly slower. There is no reason to hurry the intro to this piece unless your brass players don't have the chops to hold the notes.
@maferrara1 "ifs funny cause you will never measure up to him..." - I take it you and discochicken know each other, then.

We seemed so impressed when this happens in the U.S., but I found it pretty common in Europe.
