Enjoy. Pretty slow tempi throughout. Great organ pedals! The brass - both offstage and onstage varieties - sound solid at the end of both parts. But it also sounds as though Maazel should have imported Pittsburgh's 50" Wuhan tam-tam, just like he did for the Vienna Phil. performance that's on Youtube  (and I think it's on the Sony CD recording as well).  In comparison, N.Y.'s 100cm Wuhan (40") sounds somewhat underplayed.
