Jammed Valery Gergiev's LSO take. Excellent symphony with lots of depth, very little downtime, and a variety of atmospheres packed very quickly like fluidly after one another, but that because of this also feels like it lacks stand out section for the memory to latch upon. There's lots to unpack and one listen doesn't quite do it justice, but also backlog be backlog man. The entry to the first movement is really nice and dark, and the movement in general has quite a dark, emotional, enhanced history doc vibe to it. I feel like it is a touch timid and could go further in the emotional romanticism in place but it is still fantastically well executed. It does drag though, and the Wagneresque parts at min 17 for example aren't quite the best, and the finale thereafter also feels a bit drawn out. The reprise on 2 is really nice though, with lots and lots of depth and ideas flowing very well. 3 is softer and quite nice, really heavily romantic - as in romance not stylistically this time - in places, while 4 starts off with a mildly amusing, midnight ball sort of vibe, but by min 7 gets quite cool and offers a nice -stylistically- romantic finale. I might be a bit harsh but this was too confusing for a single listen. Don't compare this with my Mahler ratings etc pls. 4.1

Just as always, some great Russian romanticism. Melody is bright, and though the body of the work is your pretty standard fare, the finale is absolutely fantastic. 3.9/5
(This is coming from a music connoisseur, if you don't already like baroque/classical/romantic/ect. you probably won't like this).
