How the oboist can ad lib the tempo in the opening of the beautiful 4th movement is beyond me. In fact the entire 4th movement's tempi wobles.

I have been trying to track down a CD version of this recording and for the life of me I can’t find one. It was done by SWR Orchestra but no-thing I can find reveals a release on any physical media. Unfortunate, as I consider this my favorite recording of this piece, the Andante is fast and lively but the Allegros and Moderato are well-balanced. Others including Dorati have played this too slow. I find myself preferring to listen to the piano version on CD over any other orchestral recording for this reason.

I have a piano recording. Far better, brings out the nuances.

@@williamdougherty7563 There are plenty of excellent piano recordings… Anything done by Kvapil is good, even some Naxos box set I got had a very nuanced recording but I can’t recall the pianist.
