    Adding an organ to the finale just muddles things up... and I love symphonic works with organ!

    I remember buying the Decca LP in the very early 1970s at a time when I was 1st becoming interested in music. If memory is correct the recording also included the Italian Caprice by the same composer. At the age of 13 I took the recording very much for granted.. Only now many years later do I appreciate just how good it is. Like Matt it remains my favourite recording of the piece. It's churlish to single out any single section of the orchestra because the whole (1958!) recording is so crisp and clear but the burnished brass sound which Conductor, Orchestra and Engineers managed to capture is remarkable. I think the 1958 recording may have been used by Decca to illustrate and promote the (then) brand new stereophonic recording process. Thanks for posting.

    I got this version on tape cassette long ago, and only now thought to use the resources of the 21st century to find it on another medium. It comes up on Spotify, though not as a part of the original album, but one of those ubiquitous "50 Greatest Classical" albums. This is my favorite rendition by far, and I had no idea it was such an old recording. Thanks for posting.

    Got this myself on two different discs and the sound quality is suspect.
    The end section suffers badly from tape over-saturation and bass becomes 'buzzy'.
    shame, because this is a very good version, albeit inferior to Dorati's definitive recording.
