It's a live recording of the Philadelphia Orchestra, not

De gustibus.

Make sure you listen to the whole thing.

Why ?!?

The movements reinforce each other, as it
were. The third movement is wonderful (in
the same way as Mahler's Fourth Symphony)
and the finale is quite powerful.

Exactly what Baroque music is not supposed
to be. Fluff should sound fluffy no matter
how serious it is trying to be.
