And Allegro non troppo means "fast, but not too much"... the tempo of this movement isn't Presto

The performance by Mravinsky and The Leningrad Philharmonic is better, though. This performance didn't quite grasp that uneasy feeling, IMO.

It it unnecessary for music to make people think... it would be enough if it made them listen

I don't get it...What's that gotta do with anything? o_o?

SCHAUDERHAFT! Die weitaus schlechteste Bernstein Interpretation die ich je gehört habe. Das Tempo ist viel, viel, viel zu schnell. Wo ist die grandiose Erhabenheit des Finales geblieben? Nicht in Worte zu fassen, wie dieses Stück hier ruiniert wird. Nicht zum Aushalten!

A Bernstein trademark, that. He ZOOMS through Mahler too.
