This recording was recently chosen by BBC Radio 3 as the chosen version for a library of classical recordings. The program is aptly called "Building a Library", and the few times I listened to it, I found their choices agreeable. There's even a piece dedicated to our beloved MIMIC's founder by Musorgskij the visionary, who must have had a premonition while on one of his zapoj's (запой).
