Yes, plus Barshai's *original* recording of the 14th. I have a silly
theory that these items are always next on the reissue agenda of each
iteration of Melodiya before it gets sued out of existence by its rival
claimants....

Indeed, yes -- so far, most of what we've gotten has been Gould, Gould, and
Gould, with a few other items along for the ride in the Original Jackets
series, plus the Brahms-Schoenberg Piano Quartet, thanks to the brief reign
of Gilbert Hetherwick in the post-Gelbian glow. I'd really like to have
every last thing from the series available on CD. In particular, I miss
those little choral canons.

I could almost swear this was in a 2CD set of all the concerti on a French
EMI issue that I once saw at the Virgin Megastore in Burbank (which dates
it quite a bit).

These haven't been issued in Japan yet!?
