There's so much stuff going on in the texture of that final chorus that it's all but impossible to bring out the Haupstimme properly, and, just based on the lossy excerpts played through my computer speakers, it sounded to me as if Gardiner was really on top of things here in a section that can sound chaotic without the proper care! ;-)
Regardless, you'll have to take my report on the actual download cum grano salis (multi-channel vs. two-channel for one thing!).

The Gielen recording must have gone OOP - it can be had now at Amazon for a mere $116.93. But in any case, I prefer the Salonen recording even though the master is only 24/44.1. But the attraction of this new Chandos recording is that it's 24/96, and I want to have all those ultra high frequencies I'm entitled to, even though I can't hear them! ;-)
Come to think of it, I guess the Gielen recording may have had a 24/96 master too. (I don't know for sure.) Another 24/96 recording is the 2015 album on Hyperion with Markus Stenz and the Gürzenich-Orchester Köln. (Its 24/96 incarnation is only available on the Hyperion site AFAIK.) It exists only in two channels, but I wouldn't think that would be a problem for you. Who would have thought that we would have all this choice today - just in hi-rez, not to mention CD-rez?
