CD Reviews

Not the classic version recorded by Ustinov

02/25/2003

(1 out of 5 stars)

"If you're looking for the humorous Ustinov version this is NOT it! This is not the classic performance conducted by Karajan. It lacks all the whimsical touches that made that one so great. This version is conduced by Ellis with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Too bad the good Karajan version doesn't appear ever to have been issued on CD."
