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

I really like that Hugh Bean recording too, and yet. . .

. . . I remember when that recording was first issued in the 60's, some reviewers in the US criticized Bean for being too focused on technical perfection and not sensitive enough to the emotion! Well, I suppose it takes all kinds of listeners, but I agree with you and jdaniel that the Bean/Boult recording is magnificent.

BTW, you're right that performances of this work have become more internationalized these days, and I think a lot of the babe violinists (JJ, Lisa, J-Fi, et al.) have it in their repertoires - J-Fi even has a recording of it. I hope I won't cause a scandal by saying I prefer Bean's to hers! ;-)
