I'm not sure which number you can't remember, symphony or disc, so here's
both: Philosopher is No 22 (Hob). The disc is DG 427 337-2. There is
also has the lovely 'La Roxelane' and the tempestuous No 80, mentioned by
someone earlier this week, on it. It's a great CD but these are modern
performances.

Solomons was highly reviewed in some quarters. But, I found it a bit
eccentric. It is an 'authentic' series though and has excellent sound.
Here again you'll find gallons of repeats bringing some works to 50% more
than there usual run time.
