I am still sending David royalty checks for recommending this one to me.
There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

My favorite is the Maazel/VPO recording on London.  It has been criticized for starting off too fast so there's not enough mystery in the beginning and stuff like that, but I find that far more interesting the slow beginnings of some other conductors.  As well, Maazel seems to have the brass spread out across the back of the orchestra, which provides a wonderful effect on the big climaxes, very exciting.  I love it. The analog recording is quite good, too.

That's the recording that made me fall in love with this symphony and it's still one of my favorite "hot" versions--those climaxes still give me chills every time!

(I appreciate the checks, Bill!)
