:*Waltraud Meier and Barenboim. [https://youtu.be/wu02skyFCyI Liebestod]. (Outdoor performance, which is extremely difficult to engineer, somewhere in Catalonia, I think. I post it here to compensate in fairness to the performers for the poor video and audio quality of the above and to illustrate the teamwork of Meier, Barenboim, and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra made up of Palestinians and Jews founded by Barenboim).

Personal comment: My kids used to call this section "Dad's happy music". Here's [https://youtu.be/xK7z2NhUrsQ Simon Bychkov navigating through the same section with the Berlin Philharmonic.] You decide if the NYO-USA kids measure up to the same standards.
*[[Tchaikovsky]], [https://youtu.be/x2tTfTVzD0M Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique" mvt 4], Mravinsky, Leningrad Philharmonic 1960. (sheer terrifying anger at fortissimo)
