The best Borodin that I have heard....

Yes, it was a thoughtful performance, but it never sagged and I thought the orchestra played magnificently :-)

I have been blown away by this cycle; I do hope you manage to get hold of the rest of the set

I certainly do intend to complete the cycle Darren and then possibly look at the Vernon Handley cycle as I have read good things about it.

Cool! Then the cycle must be excellent. The 2nd is the only one that I own and really like it. I have always been very curious about the rest of them.
Thanks for the comment fergus.
