I have an Austrian (?) live broadcast of Herbstsymphonie conducted by Michel Swierczewski with following timings: 9.24 - 14:48 - 19:27 - 28:51. A much more tempered interpretation than Botstein's, which, in this case, looks as having being cut!

Botstein makes two small cuts (proposed by Marx) in movements 2 and 4. And the 4th movement is played way too fast. The Swierczewski-recording (which is presently not traceable online) is about 72 minutes.

By the way, there exists also an obscure recording of a 9 minute orchestral piece "Symphonische Tänze", which uses material from the 4th movement of the Autumn Symphony. The piece has disappeared and has probably been replaced by the symphonic poem "Feste im Herbst" ("autumn feasts"), which is a longer rework of the same movement.
