OK, Andy, try this version, which I like as much as Ozawa's:

I thought the Ozawa was with the CSO, but it's the BSO. And they play just as well for Zander. Incredible precision. They just have this score well and truly mastered. Zander takes it a fraction quicker.
But.........it doesn't swing like Ozawa. That's uniquely what he does - he just "gets" the syncopation and makes it happen. I know of no other version that does this.
I'll listen again for the Ozawa "swing." I had that performance on a "Dynaflex"floppy LP that didn't do it justice.
By the way, Zander is conducting the Boston Philharmonic, not the BSO:
"The Boston Philharmonic is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to fulfilling a vision of "passionate music making without boundaries." The Boston Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO), founded by Benjamin Zander in 1979, features student, professional, and amateur musicians who present premier performances of top-notch classical music that is accessible and enjoyable for both music aficionados and the casual listener."
Ah - the BPO. Incredible. What an orchestra!
Ozawa was the Chicago SO as I thought - somebody else referred to it as the BSO.
This is the first version of Rite I heard (on LP).
