I heard one movement from Batiz's Sheherazade on a sampler CD and was impressed. Even more impressed by all of it! Mackerras on Telarc had previously been my fave, and it is a bit better recorded than the Naxos, but I suspect the Batiz trumps it as a performance.


- played the piano trio #1 and really enjoyed it - probably the best Rubbra I have heard - much more to my tastes than Rubbra's orchestral works. I like the string quartets, too.
