I know what the words mean. The article waxes lyric about tempo in the Symphony, and then praises Toscanini's recording. There's a lot of other similar sites out there. He says the 1938 recording is as good, if not better, but I prefer to take the word of Toscanini himself; he didn't approve the 1938 version.

I'll try to get a score, then.

I exist! I am a pedant! I have a foreboding signature!
