I'd like to buy myself a Sheherazade but am unsure which one to go for. I want an exciting characterful performance in realistic sound (deep rich bass, timpani has impact etc.) I'm considering two versions and was wondering if there are any comments: 1. Batiz / Philharmonia (Naxos) This does sound volatile and is beautifully recorded. 2. Svetlanov/LSO (BBC Legends) This had several reviewers on the edge of their seat. One complaint is that the timpani are too far forward, but the timpani is exciting in a live performance. Also the dreaded dry acoustic of London's awful Royal Festival Hall ("That barn" - Sir Thomas Beecham). Does Svetlanov divide the violins? Many thanks, David Harbin Nottingham, UK
