Records that never let you down

Erm what happened to the one record rule ?

I think there was a little ambiguity between Barbirollians suggesting 'one record' and the title which says 'records' thus implying the plural.

That brings back a memory from 1985 when I saw Nigel Kennedy and Vernon Handley in the Elgar Violin Concerto at the RFH. I went backstage afterwards and had a chat with Nige. He was totally normal looking at that time with none of the weird stuff that came later and was friendly and charming. Got absolutely no idea what was in the rest of the concert but I'll have the signed programme somewhere.

I did something similar, at about the same time, I heard him give a marvellous performance of the Elgar. It was Tchiak 6 in the 2nd half but I decided that would be an anticlimax so I left at the interval.

I heard him play it in the Usher Hall in the 80's with the (R)SNO under Sir Alexander Gibson. The companion work was 'Falstaff', which, iirc, was in the first half.
