A rather sobering story derived from a play by Pushkin, The Miserly Knight tells the story of a profligate son attempting, by various means both above- and below-board, to extract some money from his rich but frugal father. Vladimir Jurowski, at the helm of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, brings an appropriate darkness to the music.
