I listened to three renditions tonite of this selection, and lo, the one conducted by Barbirolli was outstanding! That's why I chose his to post.

My husband is Swedish thru and thru. [Ya still love me after that revelation, doncha? 😄]

A former neighbor who did a semi-retired stint as a univ. bookstore mgr. after a long stint in the U.S. Army, gave me a book to read about how Sweden bordered on Russia, at one time or still?, and how husband could have a Russki lineage, mb. I'm Carpatho-Rus heritage. I joked with him that he could be a Slav and I could be Swedish! Just being silly.

Glad you enjoyed this musical choice I made.

"Thank you for your patronage.
Please call again soon!"😉
