Leonard Bernstein's 1945 recording of the Fifth Symphony bears testament, if any were needed, to the prowess of the then 27-year-old wunderkind. The quality of the recording is low by modern standards, in particular the high strings and flutes, which take on a sibilant, peevish quality, but one can hear the authority of the performance all the same. It is by no means faultless (the percussionist comes in embarrassingly late a few bars after Fig. 39, the horns have a momentary hiccup before Fig. 61 in the second movement, and the pizzicato string passage before Fig. 67 gets slightly ragged), but overall, the playing is assured and crisp.Tracklist:
The Scherzo and Finale especially are brisk and energetic, underscoring their respective Mahlerian and Tchaikovskian leanings. The Largo suffers a little at the hands of the recording, needing the more sumptuous sound of modern engineering to sustain its length. Certain details, such as the percussion after Fig. 121 in the Finale, get buried in the rumbles and crackles.
