Oh good lord I want to hear that now. If anyone finds it lurking in a dark corner somewhere, etc etc.

Underrated fellow that Baudo. Big fan of his Ex Exspecto. I can’t help thinking that the metronome markings in the score must have arrived subsequent to his performances, given that here he is conducting it much faster with the great man himself in attendance… maybe I already said that upthread?
