You'll never guess what I have lined up next...

(My CD is the Gold Seal however...:scratch2

I think I'm liking this version even better than the before posted performance; it seems more dynamic and exciting...though it may lack the nuance or depth of the other (but I wouldn't say it's ostentatious).

Both are great takes on this piece imo (I'm a tyro in reference to this material of course so this is my very neophyte opinion only) and, as with so many other classical pieces with several (or even a multitude) of great performances, the problem is overchoice between different, yet still wonderful and compelling performances.

I'm not sure if I'll track down other versions of this piece, however, as I don't like it that much so far at least (I could do without the Simpsonesque Alien Treehouse of Horror parts ).

Riccardo Chailly conducting the Concertgebouw orchestra still remains my favorite recording of the piece, followed closely by the corresponding one of Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra.
