I have to agree with Cantor Ken.  I love Tarras, but Brandwein gets you to 
the edge of your seat sounding like he's so excited that he's going to lose 
it any minute.  Obviously, he did things that you wouldn't do in the studio 
today (listen to how he takes off on Terkisher-Yale-ve-Yove, ignoring the 
tempo set by the orchestra), but if you're tired of music played "perfectly" 
by synthesizers, here's the antidote.
