I'm shocked I tell you - SHOCKED!! ;-)
Seriously though, I have the HM SACD, but not the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia download so I haven't heard the latter. I do like the HM performance and recording though, and the RVW Oboe Concerto is another one of those works which I like to think that I know well, having played it (the piano reduction) a couple of times with different oboists. The only other recording of the work I have is the old Nimbus recording (on plain old CD) with Boughton conducting - it's not bad, but I like the HM performance/SQ much better. I'll listen to it again later today though.
