Anyone with an urge to acquire the Myaskovsky concerto, or another
version of it, might also be interested in Naxos's coupling of it with
the Vainberg Violin Concerto. I've seen only one pretty positive review
of this, and it made no mention of the Repin CD for comparison. To
complicate matters, Chandos has started a series of Vainberg's symphonies,
using the Weinberg spelling, and the violin concerto might also turn up
there.

Ok, Steve, come clean. Which is your favourite?
