Batagov has done an Art of the Fugue too, which I have but I have never listened to. According to the Bach Cantatas website it's the longest on record.

Aye, it's a great disc.

Forgot to report this earlier. Great music, which should be better known.

He also did Messiaen's baby Jesus thing and took him three discs for it. I had one of them and sold it off promptly.

Well I think you're being too harsh, I've listened to some of the 20 regards and I thought it was very fine. I remember one piece was a really good reflection of Messiaen's commentary. I also think that 6th partita is very good, beautiful.

Well, I have his Concerto for Cello, Concerto for Piano and Orch.
Nocturne and Capriccio
Symphony.    Variations on a Theme by Bartok
and only a vague recollection of any of them. They are not on my hate list, maybe more academic than memorable.   At least they sound like they are by a musician.
But  have a lot of discs of him as a conductor.
