Nice one Chris

Do you think I've only mangled Stratocasters ?
I recognised the melody instantly, just couldn't name it. Once upon a time I struggled to play the piece.
I might give it another go
The melody is instantly Moorish, very unlike Russian composers, but the orchestral element does cloud the issue slightly.

Common sense isn't anymore!
It seems that the orchestral version in the clip is likely the Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos (he of the superb Mozart Requiem) recording. I'm tracking it down now...
Very well done, Chris. You've beaten a goodly crowd of professionals that I put on the case

I've found several versions but I want a copy with the drama and attack of the one in Martin's original clip!
