My God -- the recording. Channel's come a long way since their Mahler 4 and Rite of Spring, and they were remarkable. Sounds like they finally bought a good bass drum too. Get your kleenex out.Regarding the 1st movt:
First the good news. Fischer's great when it comes to any comings and goings above ground. But below ground, so to speak, where the wild things are, the conductor just doesn't seem to capture the phantasmagoria as well as others, especially you know who: Adler. Take the sarcastic trombone solo, or the big, yawning brass glissandi, or the endless woodwind trills and tremoli: nothing much is made of these moments. Though anyone new to the symphony won't likely notice.
But, my God--the recording.
