Prince Of Pagodas


HP raves about the Decca version (Ace of Diamonds)of this LP. Anyone have it?? What are your comments? Any other version better both sonically and performance?
Is this a difficult disc to locate?
Thanks!

I've know two CD versions: Knussen & London Sinfonietta on Virgin VCD7 59578-2 (2 discs, complete with Britten's own cuts on the Decca version restored); and a 51min suite of excerpts with Slatkin and the BBC Symphony on CHANDOS CHAN 10111. Both are truly excellent musically and sonically.
Have a search on Amazon for them.
