A timpanist's dream - hammering away, jets wide open, guns blazing. I loved it!

Very nice performance, good work by all.

Overall a dedicated performance of a truly towering composition, but it really must be said that string intonation and ensemble balance problems in those sumptuous harmonies of the third movement are a real detraction. The entire section just isn't together there in the least and a few bars even sound like they unintentionally slip into avant garde territory! I must applaud the woodwind and percussion players though, who to my ears do commendable work (clarinetist nails those delicious movement 3 solos). With better strings, this orchestra might have very strong potential. Apologies for the bluntness of this assessment, but this marvelous work has many extraordinary performances from all around the world with which to contrast.
