That would be the Suppé Overture to "Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna". What do you hear at the 7'14" mark? I hear (or rather DON'T hear) some missing music! For whatever reason, it sounds as if they made an edit there and bungled it - strange for the Mercury team. (I was listening to the SACD layer, but I suspect the problem is there on the CD layer too.)
Otherwise, this album is so great! Talk about your hand involuntarily starting to conduct as you listen! I also love the Järvi/Chandos 24/96 multichannel download of Suppé Overtures, but the microphones are further away on that newer recording, and some sections just don't have the visceral impact of this celebrated Paray/MLP recording. Wonderful stuff!
