Mravinsky / Leningrad Philharmonic
ReferenceDeutsche Grammophon · 1960
The third-movement march is a driving-out rather than a triumph, which is what makes the finale possible. Sixty years on it is still the measure.
Celibidache / Munich Philharmonic
LiveEMI / Warner · 1992
Extremely slow, a dozen minutes longer than Mravinsky overall, and the finale's disappearance into the basses is drawn out past comfort. That is the point.
