Yes, the following is taken from Wikipedia:
Roxana (Avestan: Raoxshna or Roshanak, "luminous beauty"; Persian: رخسانه Rokhsāna; Pashto: روښانه Rox̌āna), sometimes Roxanne, Roxanna, Roxandra and Roxane, was a Bactrian (Afghanistan) princess and a wife of Alexander the Great. She was born earlier than the year 343 BC, though the precise date remains uncertain.
Sometimes described as a Sogdanian princess; both Bactria and Sogdania were eastern outposts of the Persian empire.

For lovers of the Schubert piano sonatas, these discs will bring a happy smile to your face.

Beethoven Symphony No. 3, Marriner, ASMF, Philips [cd]
This has always been my favourite recording of the Eroica.

Your fave?
Gosh - I've never heard it -- scampers off to Amazon ----
Coo - looks like it's a bit of a collector's item, going by the prices.
I shall keep my eyes open for a cheap copy!

I'm David.
A rather pleasant rendition of Handel's Messiah on Proprius vinyl. makes my late Dad's 1968 Philips set conducted by Colin Davis sound turgid in tempo and dul in sonics...
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?
Mine is on original Philips with a different cover and I couldn't even find an image of it!Originally Posted by jandl100
Beethoven Symphony No. 7, Ashkenazy, Philharmonia, Decca [cd]
This too is a terrific performance.
