Is that the one subtitled “The Egyptian” (for no discernible reason), @Tim? If so, I’ve listened to it now, and I indeed found it fabulously batty in the tradition of Schnittke’s 1st (which I assume you’re familiar with, and amongst the recorded conductors of which there is…yes, you’ve guessed it: one L. Segerstam.)
