Hit: 5 Stars
Why would one give the RECORDING IN QUESTION a rating of one star . . . when the PROBLEM was entirely NOT the fault of Charles Mackerras, or the LSO, or Telarc, or even Rimsky-Korsakov, for that matter? Yeah, I don't know, either. It appears that Amazon--being run by humans--was less than perfect and just flat-out screwed up. I can't imagine that Amazon wouldn't correct the problem, if one would ask nicely.
Anyway, I own this disc, and it is wonderful. The recorded sound is vibrant and rich, befitting these lush romantic masterpieces very well. Listening to this evocative music, one is easily transported to the ancient middle-east or to Spain. The violin solo work on both pieces is crisp and immediate.
For $15 (two lunches) you get an hour of musical fantasy that you can enjoy for a lifetime. I have no problem giving this a five-star rating, and I can thank of no (sane) reason for giving it one star.

Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade/Capriccio Espagnol Poster
Charles Mackerras is an unassuming guy who just makes great music. He's never made a bad record, and his enthusiasms range from Handel to Jan?cek to Sullivan (he's one of the world's leading authorities on all three). Because he's had no long-term relationship with any specific label, his career hasn't been pushed the way, say, Herbert von Karajan's was, but that doesn't make his recordings any less good. In fact, as this brilliant and exciting performance of two Rimsky-Korsakov classics shows, Mackerras is as completely at home in these lush, Romantic orchestral soundscapes as he is in his chosen fields of expertise. Add Telarc's knockout sound to the equation, and what more could you ask for? --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
