It sounded like Stok wanted to turn this into a "showpiece"..... I can see how the full score could make a few patrons start glancing at their watches.....
In retrospect, I would have enjoyed the Stok/Cleveland performance a lot more, had it been the full score. I was never a fan of cutting long works shorter (except for repeats)..... In the case of Rachmaninoff's 2nd Symphony, it seems like the most exciting parts of the work were what was cut out.
