This is rather excellent

Marco.
Emperor was the only classical music in the house as I grew up - a tape of of DG recording. I want to say Karajan but really it's so long ago it would be pure guesswork.

Listening now to Tasmin Little's Chandos recording of Britten's Violin Concerto with Ed Gardner. Wonderful piece which remains under-rated and under-exposed in my view,
