Well, if sonics are important, then Barenboim. If not, the composer's own recording with the VPO would seem to be a good choice. It's just not for me in such a richly-textured symphony.

Depends whether you want modern sound...
If you're starting from scratch, I'd strongly advise searching out Barenboim which is as good as it gets - and is in superb sound.
Quote from: Alan Howe on Thursday 18 April 2024, 17:53It's also the price you pay to get repertoire like Alfano. It's not as if they're putting out Beethoven symphonies with the Back of Beyond Philharmonic...
