With some pretty fast tempos throughout, Riccardo Chailly and the Gewandhausorchester certainly don't hang about, but there's never any question of the music sounding rushed, and the last movements of both symphonies here are tremendously exciting. Chailly gives the music space when it needs it, though, and the Larghetto movement of Symphony No. 2 in particular is full of beauty.
