Richard, you might want to try the recent recording of 'King Roger' on
Naxos that, I believe, got good reviews.  I apologize for not knowing the
serial number of the disc or the performers.  I saw it for around US$18.00
for two discs, a bit high for Naxos.  Also, the libretto is either in
Polish or it is not included with the disc.
