I've really started to come round to this. I've always thought that the finale was the most glorious piece of music I've ever heard, but never quite understood why. But this interpretation perhaps exposes why: during the first 2 thirds occasionally you will hear flashes of the final third, as if the firebird is awakening and trying out his/her functionality.In other interpretations the conductor does not reveal this as much as is necessary.
Some of the orchestration in this is absolutely beautiful and among the best and most imaginative.
