The first movement is definitely not slow--one of the fastest ones around. Scarey as hell. Lenny must have had superhuman powers when he made this recording, and the orchestra responded accordingly.I'll go along with your advocacy of Abbado's Mahler--certainly a completely different ball of wax from Bernstein, of course. Abbado's Fifth with the CSO is outstanding, although the recording quality is not the best.
