For people who like that sort of thing, one of the live performances which preceeded the recording of the Roussel is available from the private issue PIB Records. There was a two two-CD release of live Bernstein Material about three months ago which included the Roussel, the Irving Fine Symphony and a hair-raising Mahler 6 on the first double, and the Schoenberg Violin Concerto, Svi Zeitlin soloist and a Mahler Seven on the second. Recordings date from 1961-1987, are all live and in very good sound. For information, contact [log in to unmask] Respectfully submitted, Ray Osnato
