Got a recording of Furtwängler doing the original version of the 8th that I much prefer to anything else I've heard, and the pirate recording of his own Sinfonie Konzert by Mehta and Barerboim without the forced return of the first theme in the first movement is the only recording of that piece I can listen to. But on the main subject, Ralph has gotten me curious enough to order the scores of both versions, instead of saying a bunch of stuff that might be totally wrong. What did he change and why? With Brukner, people kept whining at him to change things, but it isn't likely anyone could get away with doing that with Hindemith. Unless it was to extend the copyright, like some of the Stravinsky pieces.
