So what exactly does a "hammer of Fate" sound like?  And how do you stop it smashing through the orchestral podium?

I still cherish the hammer in the live Berlin Barbirolli Mahler 6. A horrible metallic clang in flagrant contravention of Mahler's instructions. And somehow absolutely right although you wouldn't want it every time.

For me the problem with the final whack is not so much to do with fate or whatever. More to do with the fact that there are two equally valid places for it and to use both would be overdoing it.
