Tchaikovsky 'Manfred' - Rozhdestvensky conducts - Finale - Coda with Organ entry

Tchaikovsky's "Manfred" Symphony has been subjected to quite a few changes over the years. The most notable was Toscanini's many amendments to the scoring and his deletion of about five minutes of music from the finale. There is also a Soviet version, performed by Svetlanov and Temirkanov, which replaces the quiet closing moments of the last movement with the fortissimo ending of the first one.
Rozhdestvensky also had his own ideas about the finale and where the score requires a harmonium to come in, he - like many other conductors - opts for an organ. However, he goes further and not only extends and beefs the part up considerably but has the brass double the woodwinds as well. It's just the ending of the finale heard here and very effective it is too!

I've never heard this before! Wonderful! I've heard Temirkanov do the "Leningrad ending" with everyone frantically turning their music back to the end of the first movement. Loud ending. Awful. Nonsensical. I remember Rozhdestvensky well from his time with the BBCSO. Try his Francesca from the Edinburgh Festival with the Leningrad Phil from 1960. Incendiary!
