I have a vinyl of the Leningrad Symphony playing Beethoven's 5th, which I bought in a state bookstore in East Berlin in 1959. The end is so rushed and stilted that we decided it sounds more like a steam train pulling into the station with repeated whistle blowing.
Thanks. That record is buried in a box in the basement nad I hadn't thought of it (thankfully) in a long time.
