Again, a better buy than the Family Classics counterpart and a nice bit of continuity (or was it budget? -1 have a suspicious mind!) in using a recording by the same orchestra. My only quibble is that in parts the orchestra seem to lack a little commitment to the music and there are points in the first movement where they seem to be going through the motions and expression is - if not lacking, at least well hidden.
