[David Boxwell]

Host Andrew McGregor and William Mival sort through some recordings of the Fifth by Ababdo/BPO; Maazel 1; Haitink 2; Bernstein 2; Norrington; Neumann; Karajan; Gergiev; Dudamel; Leinsdorf; Walter (4th mvt, 1938); Rattle; Boulez; Conlon.  Worth a listen to hear the contrasts and the #1 Pick.

Thanks for passing that along. Note that the M5 discussion starts about 33 minutes in and lasts just over an hour.
