Shostakovich's Symphony no. 5 - 4th mvt

One of my favorite orchestral pieces. I had never heard Shostakovich's 5th under Bernstein. I get a little bit of an un-easy feeling at around the three-minute mark. I think this is because I'd like a bit more tempo contrast -- but this is an awesome 'version.' Fantastic conducting decisions all around:
