Yes and the accompanying Symphony 9. IM(inexpert)O both good performances coupled with outstanding sound.

I loved the Job but bow to your expectations and will listen again. Somewhat to my surprise I was particularly taken with the Symphony 9 , my previous experiences ( Boult and Andrew Davis' earlier account for Warner) leaving me thinking along the lines of "oh it's just an old man rehashing parts of his earlier work". AD's new performance opened a door for me into the symphony which now stands up in its own right. A very impassioned performance, again IMO.

This also gives me chance to revisit your query last year regarding the Holst Planets/Strauss Also Sprach Zarathustra recording by Gardiner/National Youth Orchestra of GB. Now released it basically supports my opinion attained from the live performance at the Proms that the Planets is superb whilst the Strauss somewhat less so ( though still well worth hearing). In fact this Holst would now be my top recommendation.

All of these recordings have amazingly realistic and powerful sound and my advice is nail down anything that might shake or rattle if you listen at naturalistic levels!
