All this chatter has brought me to doing more listening than before. Very grateful for the motivation:
I'm very sorry, but Hamelin simply does not produce conviction for me. He is awe inspiring technically and sometimes does the music service but it's not consistent at all.

But like i said, my gratitude is being offered: I have stumbled across the most convincing performance of the Poeme Satanique, that's to Sofronitsky. I thought V.Margulis did the best work on it, but that has changed i think. It's unfortunate, Sofronitsky never did the 7th and 6th.
