Kopatchinkaja's cadenza with Pieter Schoeman, the LPO's leader, is included on the disc.
I think that the CD is more convincing than with Ashkenazy, principally because of the greater intensity, anguish and pathos conveyed in the brief second aria. It is that movement that is the emotional core of the work. As ever with Jurowski, one gets precision and lyricism in equal measure. It's as good an account of the Stravinsky that I know.
