It was stickered at HMV in Leeds at £14.99 but overwritten at £1.00! I've been playing the third disc pretty much non-stop since then. That's the one with the Shostakovich 2nd cello coincerto (plus Tchaikovsky and Glazounov), written for Rostropovich and performed beautifully here. This concerto doesn't have the immediate impact of the first, but is more profound.
Duran Duran's 1985 side project album (featuring Le Bon, Rhodes, and Roger Taylor) is so much more interesting than I remember, though I did thoroughly enjoy the "Election Day" single.

That's one of my favorite symphonies as well, Gary. I have a few different recordings, but I've yet to hear that one.
Now playing one of the most intoxicatingly beautiful marriages of music and vocals that I have ever heard in my life:
I could play that track on repeat over and over, but the rest of the CD is wonderful as well...
