One of the first CD's I got was Fedoseyev's performance on JVC directly from Japan - I thought it was very exciting. His Canyon performance was more restrained, but the SQ was even better I thought. Strangely enough, the Stokowski performance on Phase-4 was one that didn't appeal to me at all because of the orchestration uh. . . "touchups" - although as usual, I admire Stokowski's audacity in re-orchestrating perhaps the most notable work of a composer celebrated for his orchestration! And although the SQ is pretty restrained as Phase-4 recordings go, it's still. . . Phase-4! ;-)
As for the Glazunov Fifth, my favorite is the Sinaisky recording, which I believe originally came free with BBC Music Magazine but which later became available in its 24/96 (2-channel) incarnation via The Classical Shop and is the incarnation I have. Fedoseyev not competitive? Well, I'll listen again, but that sure wasn't my first impression.
