Looks pretty good and thank God, Gatti is the only one (albeit Haitink, Eschenbach) in my recent memory who puts Scherzo second.

If somebody can transfer it to CDR...that would be nice.

John,

I'm not crazy about the prospects of a 34 minute finale. But who knows, maybe it's a fabulous 34 minutes of music.

The timings look more or less similar to Lenny's DG recording. Bu biggest curiosity is to find out how well the French orchestra would handle a piece like M6th. I recall they did a reasonably good job with Haitink.

"I recall they did a reasonably good job with Haitink."

Yes, that one sounds like the Rite Of Spring compared to Haitink's later Chicago snooze-job.
