It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

My enthusiasm ran out in the 4th movement..

I was liking a lot about the Karajan until the 4th movement which to me sounds unexpectedly square and earthbound. I think you have to find some way of bringing this movement off without either over-simplicity, which could get bland, or over-emphasis which could sink the sustained intensity needed.

Gielen shapes this last movement really well - he's very imaginative. And Maderna is very good also. I also like Horenstein from 1953 here.

A good last movement is pretty critical here unless one wants to patch a performance up from different movements by different conductors, which is wacky but tempting...
