I received this BIS disc from MusicWeb for review but have not listened
sufficiently to form a conclusion.  The coupling is Scheherazade, so the
disc is well-filled at about 75 minutes.

The conductor is Kees Bakels who has recorded Vaughan Williams Symphonies
for Naxos with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.  Bakels has also
recorded Glazunov, Sibelius, and Khachaturian Violin Concertos for Vox,
and his other recordings for BIS include the Dvorak Cello Concerto and
a disc of two Martucci Symphonies.  Bakel's orchestra of choice for his
BIS discs, including the Rimsky-Korsakov is the Malaysian Philharmonic.
