ALL THE NOTES

The conclusion of Daniel Jaffé’s delightful article on Rimskykorsakov’s Sheherazade (January issue) suggests Respighi’s Belkis, Queen of Sheba as possible further listening. However, the only recording mentioned is of the condensed four-movement suite. Is there a recording of the complete ballet? It would be wonderful to hear the entire score. FJ Papp, via email THE EDITOR REPLIES There is indeed a recording of the full ballet, recorded in

2007 on DVD by the Stuttgart Philharmonic under Gabriel

Feltz on the Dreyer Gaido label (DVDGBR21081). It’s a wonderfully lavish affair.
