A recording from the Minnesota Orchestra under Osmo Vänskä that for me does everything just right. There's heft and weight in the first movement without a hint of stodge, and the horns are quite magnificently robust in the Trio of the third movement! There's also a delightfully fresh account of the Eighth, full of quirky charm and with a joyous spring in its step.
