A little overload in the bass drum though.
My surprise favorite is Boult, (I know), with the Paris Conservatory Orchestra, (I know), recorded in "experimental" stereo by Decca in '54/'55, (I know).
Stunning, uncanny sound at times and very spirited playing.
On vinyl, it can be found on the B side of Decca's "World of Classics" Ansermet Pictures at an Exhibition. It's also available on CD.
