Yes - I'm anticipating the Passion Week recording on Naxos

I think it's coming out in August and there's a very good excerpt with the same performers (The Clarion Choir) on uTube. Strange that the Capella Romana recording (the premiere recording of the work) which I was raving about last year is going to be having competition so soon. It would be wonderful if the Naxos recording were available in some kind of hi-rez multi-channel platform, but I'd be satisfied with just hi-rez 2-channel.

Regarding the Glazunov Symphonies (and other Glazunov works), the Naxos recordings are pretty variable (I have some of them), and generally not up to the level of the Jarvi and Serebrier recordings (IMHO), not to mention individual recordings, such as the Sinaisky/BBC 24/96 download of the Fifth (which used to be available at The Classical Shop, although I can't find it there right now), or the Simonov lower-than-CD-rez recording of the Eighth.
