John Polifronio:

Someone did mention it, but I agree, it's a delight.  Very Rimskian and
Borodinian.  Stravinsky recorded it late in life (it now appears in his
Sony boxed set but may be available individually).  Antal Dorati I think
did a much better, warmer performance for London/Decca (coupled with the
Scherzo fantastique, op. 3), but I'm not sure it's still available.
