Hyperion RPC no.55 - Widor

[Dundonnell]

Yes, Mark, I too read the review in IRR and decided, on the basis of the review, to go for the Dutton as the (slightly) cheaper option

[Revilod]

I've managed to hear them both and reviewed them on Amazon.co.uk  If I had to choose I'd go for the Dutton because of Roscoe and Yates' slightly greater level of emotional commitment but there's very little to choose between them. My reviews are here. I'd be interested to hear your comments:

Interesting. I still have doubts about the BBCCO in this repertoire...

Glad to hear that That's the one I ordered

The Gramophone review by Jeremy Nicholas also says that it's honours even between the two recordings.
