Sadly we only recorded two volumes before the impending EMI takeover halted
the Virgin recording programme.  Although many of the Virgin Classics plans
eventually went ahead, The Borodin SQ soon signed to Teldec and some of the
Virgin recordings "in the can" were sold to that label (although on release,
Teldec were very coy about it in their documentation!)
