I made it all the way through this one! Some nice tips here up which I shall be following. And he is also clearly a fan of version D, which if I remember right he called the best recording by its illustrious conductor (words to that effect, anyway).

One thing he said struck a chord: for him there are certain moments that have to be right for him to enjoy a Bolero. One of them is the polytonal bit for horn, celesta, and piccolos, which has to blend properly. Fair enough. For me if I don’t hear the snares on the snare drum right from the beginning that’s a serious problem, and I had that problem with some of the recordings the Tribune were assessing.
Anyone else have such ‘hurdle’ moments that a recording has to clear?
