Nor have I.  I have it on backorder form both Amazon and CD Now.  Hopefully
by the time either sends it to be I will have time to cancel the other
order.  If I get 2, I'll put the extra one up for grabs.

What is the problem with this disk?? I ordered it just as soon as I could
after reading the Fanfare review, and it still has to be backordered.  Is
it that much in demand??

Also - an earlier poster said that he/she had known the concerto for
some time.  I was inder the impression that it had just recently been
"discovered" or "found" or something like that.  Am I wrong??
