While I cannot recollect for certain how the conductors I name take the third movement, I do tend to agree with The Cat here about how it should go. Therefore these recordings may well adhere to that desideratum.
The greatest: Walter, NBC SO, 1939. Simply incomparable. The sound on current transfers is disappointing, although a friend has fixed it up somewhat. New edition from originals is due soon, I'm told.
A longtime favorite: Kreutzer, Danish Radio SO. Only on cassette! Been looking for it on CD. Help!
Another fave: Scherchen, VSOO (?). LP and CD.
Finally: Borsamski and Steinberg. LP only, I think.
