Hi Guys
This my all time favourite symphony that I first heard back in 1960 when I was 14 and staying with an Austrian family on an exchange scheme. It knocked me out so much I bought the LP and brought it back to the U.K. I have a number of this symphonies CD recordings. The version you are referring to I have on blu-ray with the 4th and 6th symphonies. Performance wise the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra under Mariss Jansons from 1984 I think is still the best CD recording.
Apologies for being an anorak
Best wishes Peter
