 | | Davis is firmly in the Apollonian saddle, which means he leads a poised, balanced performance that's beautifully played by the Concertgebouw. |
 | | It is a bit short on the excitement scale, so the hallucinatory march to the scaffold and witches' Sabbath can disappoint if you're familiar with the way they're whipped along by the likes of Munch, Paray, and Bernstein, among others. |
 | | Recorded with the Concertgebouw in 1974, it still shines among the many dozens of recordings available. |
