It isn't. Bernstein conducted an
expanded string ensemble (just the string section of the Vienna Philharmonic) for his version of No. 14. The novelty of it intrigued me. The opening adagio works beautifully. Haven't listened to the successive (more up-tempo) movements yet, which really are the test of such an arrangement. Looking forward to it.
