Here's footage of the late (and I think, great) Giuseppe Sinopoli conducting Mahler's Symphony No. 1 (The 'Titan').
Sinopoli's Mahler cycle with the Philharmonia Orchestra was released in a deluxe super-bargain boxed set to commemorate the conductor's untimely death in 2000. He had a heart attack while conducting Act III of Aida in Berlin. His eccentric way with tempos and insistence on personal interpretations of the repertory he conducted frustrated some and delighted others. Love him, or hate him, a Sinopoli recording always allows the listener to hear the score with fresh ears. Enjoy!
