BaL 26.05.18 - Stravinsky: Oedipus Rex

Goodness me, yes, and accidentally by me too! The Ancerl is so much part of the work's classic discography that Mollison's complete failure to mention it is a major gaff.

... especially when it's Rob Cowan's choice in his Guinness 1000 guide! Also, Penguin 2012 are very positive about it. Does the producer not ask his colleagues for recommendations, or send round a list asking, "have we missed anyone out"? Is there no intern scanning the CD review books to see what might be worthy of inclusion?

I can imagine the department that prepares this and other like programmes as being like work is now practically everywhere: just-in-time, no room for slack, rush-rush, gotta get it done yesterday, time is money, etc etc.
