Am I just impatient or is nearly every single recording of the Hebrides overture too slow for me

*listening to Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture, Fingal's Cave*

Me: So... majestic, so... mysterious... What inspired you to make this wonderful piece of music, herr Mendelssohn? So magnificent... I must see this cave!

*packs bags and leaves for Scotland*

Midnight Chillin' to ... Mendelssohn's Sea Cave

The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave) - Overture by Felix Mendelssohn

I heard part of this on WRR 101.1 last week while on the commute home and really liked it.  So I did more research on this pretty piece.

Music inspired by a sea cave in Scotland. And it's still there!  With gorgeous pictures to see!  That's amazing.  I like blue waters and natural wonders, and this piece was a pretty picture of the cave, with the sea waves going through it.

Listen here: Hebrides Overture

See: Pictures of Fingal's Cave  and more pictures here.

And the basaltic columns are fascinating.  "How To Train Your Dragon" (movie) actually has basaltic columns as one of its landscapes, which I had never seen before until I heard the Hebrides Overture and research the inspiration.
