It's a bit glitzy in that MTT/S.F. way, but it does sound promising. Enjoy.

I must admit the ending of M8 / I sounds absolutely stunning in this clip!  With the very audible brass giving the whole thing some kind of neo-baroque splendour.
Yet, I feel that the very last chord of the entire symphony could be held just a little longer... but, well...

I'm already getting teary eyed...can't wait for this!

I like it too.

But as usual with MTT his tempos sound somewhat extreme - a very fast ending to Part I. and a very slow ending to Part II.

John,

I downloaded just the Chorus Mysticus track from iTunes, just to get a feel for the ending of Part II.  It is indeed a grand drawn-out ending with VERY audible tam-tams and a powerful bass drum roll.  However, the orchestra doesn't seem to have enough "bloom" -- although perhaps the MP3 (which is a fairly high-rate vbr) limits this to an extent.   The organ could stand to be a bit better, but it seems pretty decent.  

I'll certainly order this from Amazon when it's released, but will not repeat my previous practice of purchasing through the SFSO site -- since they are selling it for $40+ (including shipping).

That's right. It's only $25.18 on amazon.com and the S&H is FREE!!

John,

I'm getting a 'not found' error when clicking that URL.  Did they kill it?

Just found this on YouTube.  Is this the same one as the one you found, Barry?
