Ahhh!! As excellent as the Sheherazade is, Korsakov's operas are significantly stronger imo.

For Saturday Symphony. Haydn Symphony No. 101. First I listened to a big band version with Reiner and the CSO. Despite the large forces Reiner made everything seem spry and engaging. For comparison I then listened to a period instrument recording by Sigiswald Kuijken and La Petite Bande. I really enjoyed the lithe textures from the strings, and the brass and percussion punched right through. I can recommend both recordings.
