I got a recording of Fritz Reiner and the CSO doing Night on Bald Mountain, and in the feedback portion of the page on Amazon, someone said it was way too fast and not musical. I disagree with that, though. I have the Cleveland Symphony doing it too, and the speeds are about the same (except for in some sections the CSO temporarily speeds up). I also think the NOBM is one of those pieces where the faster you go (cleanly), the better and more musical it is. Any thoughts?
