Ah, we are at cross-purposes Martin - I was referring to the 'Capriccio Espanol' in my previous post and thought you were referring to this (Decca Digital) Dutoit recording of said work, including a version of Scheherazade!

Aha! That's an amusing reveal of our respective interests, I think!
The Respighi is great. I'll try and find the Scheherazade.
Some Xmas listening ...

Great music, and the 1st symphony is a real system buster of a recording! :eek:
Pergolesi - Stabat Mater, Mainzer Kammerorchester, Kehr, FSM [vinyl]
Gorgeous performance. No photo!
That's the recording! Mine is a German cover.

Lots of classical pieces today, but this one is notable. I have three recordings of Satie piano music, but this one is the best performed (with wonderful timing), has the best sounding piano and is the best recorded.
Satie - Piano Works, Varsano, Sony [cd]
