I think its pretty good Fergus. Its not a work that I'm really all that familiar with though but to me its right up there with the BPO/Von Karajan versionfergus wrote:DaveF wrote:
Is that a good version Dave? I have Haitink performing it with the Concertgebouw Orchestra which I like.

Re: What are you listening two?
Thank you for that Dave. It is one of my all time favourite works and I have about twelve different versions of it but none on SACD.

The recording, though is excellent. I can´t understand why it was never issued on cd.

Not because of royalties but because he was heir to the gigantic Rhone-Poulenc Pharmaceuticals. In fact he was outrageously rich.
I have been thinking about this Pepe and I was wondering who was the wealthiest composer (as a result of royalties and performance fees etc.)? I know that Handel was pretty weathty in his time as was Richard Strauss and one of the big opera composers was pretty well off too but I cannot remember if it was Verdi or Puccini?

But eminently suitable as a opera subject!!
