Haven't heard his Enescu or other recent Chandos recordings, but a broadcast of a Miaskovsky 2 of his (it was on the radio, and they didn't say if it was the Russian Revelation CD or from some other performance) shows he got that on target, anyhow. Of course, that's a symphony for which the very qualities mentioned as inappropriate to Enescu are -- erm - more than satisfactory. (Though I quite liked the Marco Polo recording of Enesco 3; quite a lot. And play it often. Makes me wonder about something- my taste, for one thing *g*) (I wonder how the new Orfeo recording of that symphony - Mia 2, that is - compares... besides being pleased that a piece that I regard as Miaskovski's very best composition finally has a second recording...) -Eric Schissel
