It never ceases to amaze how an interpretation can change a long held view of a piece. I disliked the 7th with a passion with that Bolero-like first movement which is as boring as Ravel's effort, which is saying something. Then I heard the gripping recording from Mravinsky who turns that banal theme into something of dread and menace.
