One of the finest conductors working today with one of the finest orchestras in possibly the finest concert hall, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.
You know, to be completely honest, I would rather listen to this and the Unfinished than pretty well any other symphony by any composer. Even Beethoven. Well, maybe an exception for the Symphony 41 by Mozart--no-one has written a better finale.

Herbert Blomstedt, the conductor, was 93 years and 5 months old when this recording was made!
Yes, amazing! And he is guest conducting all over the place.
