Been listening to this again. Great brass parts. It would be a blast to play this arrangement.

Do I hear a pipe organ in there?

an extraordinarily dark/heavy interpretation of Bydlo...

an ox-drawn peasant cart in Poland - large-wheeled and gloomy, expresses the terrible difficulties of peasant work

You can't see what's in the cart. One account I've read says it was full of dead bodies- but you didn't make that known in 19th-century Russia. This movement always sounded a bit sinister to me- when I read that I knew why.

makes perfect sense...The chords are down in the "grind" (non-harmonic, so even major and minor chords will clash, just as they do in tuba ensembles) octave.

The Debussy Prelude is pretty spectacular as well.

Some of Wood's orchestration appears in this performance, which is sort of unique. Slatkin/BBC Proms:
