Sounds wonderful - classic Bernstein era. The version he did with Wiener Philharmoniker I thought was pretty sluggish. More please!

Too bad we couldn't hear more of the fourth movement: the cellos reprise that fine melody a few minutes later with a richer sound that blows the violin section away.You want an all male orchrestra? Look at the Berlin Philharmonic under von Karajan (circa 1975) ot the NBC under Toscanini in the 1950's.
