It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Hmm. . . that might be an idea for a thread - who is the best concertmaster on Scheherazade recordings?

Although R-K is my favorite composer, Scheherazade is far from my favorite of his works. So I might defer to others on this question. ;-)

BTW, I got to hang out with Leon Spierer, another of the Karajan-era BPO concertmasters (besides Schwalbe) for a couple of days. He was a friend of my piano teacher and I had written the program notes for his recital in San Francisco. (He must have gotten some time off from the BPO to do the recital.) It's funny, but the only work on this recital that I remember now is the Schoenberg Phantasy, Op. 47 - a tough nut to crack, even for committed Schoenbergians.
