It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Hmmm, I didn't find Fischer's polite at all, and I was certainly worried about that

in 2 channel, the Budapest has far more weight, immediacy (and better hall ambiance) than the Litton.

Litton didn't seem "all of a piece" to me, I also get the sense that the Bergen players were fatigued--physically and mentally by the end of the first and second parts.

Fischer's players actually heighten the tension as they go. The horn bits are particularly intense in the hushed final measures leading up to the climax of the Sacrificial Dance. IMHO Fischer's players are more comfortable with the mixed-meter accents at that point as well; a must if the dance is to cohere.

But if you like the Litton, that's awesome.
