Has anyone heard or participated in an orchestral performance where only the finale of Les Preludes was performed? If so, where in the music was it started.

This recording, http://www.amazon.com/Thunder-Lightning ... ning+solti has only the finale; but it's not clear if it was performed this way or edited post recording.

My guess is edited. 1812 is the same way. It's a pops-type collection, so they wouldn't want the whole things in there. My guess in Les Preludes is it starts with the restatement of the opening. Purely a guess, I'm not sure what Joe's suggestions actually point to.
