Very charming.  The robust parts are suitably robust; I don't hear anything anemic.  On the other hand, I was only interested in this particular recording of the MSD incidental music.  The only other recording I have of MSD with dramatic readings of Shakespeare is Leinsdorf, which only has a smattering of rather precious line readings.

I like Gardiner's Mendelssohn, too. Nothing anemic about it to me. Quite lively performances. I haven't listened to his whole cycle, though.

Two wonderful works indeed. Enjoy your listening when you eventually get to hear it.

Thank you. What more could I want? Beautiful works performed by my favourite violinist and orchestra.

Oh dear...I wish you well, Peter. He's a composer I just can't get into and, boy, have I tried.

And..you are a persistent listener!  We'll see how it goes. I liked the more famous tone poems!

I'm especially persistent when there's an appeal there in the music, but I haven't quite got grasp of it, but I'm continuously lured back into the music somehow.

Anyone remember when movie theaters had advertisements that were paintings of the main poster and/or characters... and they were always 'photo-realistic', except not quite?
