Last weekend Colin Lawson (cl) produced by Andrew Lyle (cl)
conducted an hour-long radio review of all the CD versions
he could lay his hands on.
His final choice was by the Berlin Philharmonic with
Karl Leister on Orfeo C 188891A

The Berlin Recording must be really, really good - is it still in print?
