No, I'm not disappointed by the speed of this interpretation. But it's a bit striking that it begins in the rather typical speed of this piece and then suddenly bursts out.

Wow so fast, probably the fastest I've heard it played! I love the energy!
-
interesting ....
-
Начало необычное и захватывающее даже, но после движение становится каким-то опереточным и теряет серьезность. Странно, не думал, что мне так не понравится...

@Wirbowsky I am not sure what you know of Charles Munch and his expertise on French Repertoire but none of the BSO players still living in this recording found this boring. I also find this exciting and a great take on a movement that at times can see lothargic.

His tempo eradicates the possibility of music. This is exciting music made boring, a complete travesty.

Munch's RCA Victor recording of the Fantastique from the 1950's is, to my mind, the greatest of all time. The finale will truly make you hair stand on end!
This movement is performed a bit more slowly on the recording. This performance really pushes the limit (!) but what a wild ride.
Quite the workout for the 4 bassoonists....

Charles Munch is the greatest conductor we have in recordings. As a prominent critic said in those days, the BSO under Charles Munch is a cultural achievement comparable to The Parthenon. Limiting myself here to brief comment, I refer you all to slow movement of Beethoven Ninth; and dig great Everett Firth elsewhere in same recording. We must mention BSO princess, the great Doriot Anthony Dwyer (flute), and the great Richard Burgin (concertmaster).
