Sir Thomas Beecham conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's Le Coq D'Or Suite, derived from the composer's last opera. It is a Rimsky-Korsakov composition at its most lush and exotic.

  2. This recording was made, I believe, in the mid-1950s, and I think it's still the best version available.
