Fewer still will be celebrating the season with roasted peacock, Lake Tung Ting scallops or turtle flippers a la financiere. Nonetheless, a huge number, week in, week out, are creating and consuming meals of a complexity and sophistication that were all but unheard of a scant decade...

Davis' elegant approach is underlined, and undermined, by Philips' lusciously veiled, soft-edged acoustics-and by a splitting of the slow third movement (Scène aux champs) between sides. London gets the movement all on one side and still manages to provide stunningly robust sound that is ideal for the now diabolical, now serene, always aptconjury of Solti, the winner...
