When the conductor and orchestra get much bigger lettering on the album cover than the composer and music, Jules, you know you're in trouble!

My word, check out the violin solo on this excerpt from Ashkenazy's new Scheherazade. The languid tempo squeezes every drop of emotion from the music.

Philharmonia, leader Warren-Greene - that's the same line-up as Ashkenazy's 1986 Decca recording. I bet it is just a re-issue.

I'm listening to that in glorious 24/192, Jules. Wonderful, and has a lot of commonality with Max Richter.
