Symphony #8, 1st movement

First let me say that found this interning enough to have listen to this twice. The mix is excellent and is light years ahead of anything I can do.
 
That said, The piece is pleasant and interesting enough but it strikes me as being more cinematic than symphonic.
 
The next two point are my own personal peccadilloes; one I prefer a traditional transposed score more than than a concert score. This is perhaps because I am so use to reading transposed scores and the fact that I do transposition in my head very quickly. But I also know I am swimming against the tide on this. Two; personally I would have doubled the note values (using 8ths as the base instead of 16ths) and adjusting the tempo to match. Again I know I am going against the grain, as since at least since th end of WWII the tread has been to use more and more flags.
 
The other thing is about the engraving. I was surprised to see key changes (key signatures) changing after just four bars and this was done in succession. I know Franz Liszt did similar rapid key signature changes in Les préludes (a possibly other scores, but that is the one I remember). But I was completely surprised when I got to bar 252 and there are five key signature changes in the span of five bars. As a performer I would prefer just to have no key signature and accidentals for those five bars.
 
Like I said the music is well done and had a enough interest for me to listen to it twice.
 
Thank you for sharing.
