IIRC, Stoki recorded Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade six times.

I guess he liked it. 😉

Yep.  He could be very demanding, at times -- and even plain mean.

My Stoki kick has been prompted by reading his biography.  One time, when Stoki was conducting a youth orchestra, a cellist got under his skin.  And he "went off" on the young person.  Someone finally had to step in and say, "Leopold, this is just a youth orchestra. This kid isn't a professional!"

But I don't get the sense -- at least from the biography -- that he was often that way.  It was more that his temperament was mercurial.
