The Orpheus Schoenberk Chamber Symphonies are certainly not deleted, as
Amazon f.e. lists it.  However, should Mr. Satoshi not find it, he can
have my recording, in exchange for his nice gift earlier this autumn to me.
I certainly don't care myself for Schoenbergs Chamber in this moment; I am
completely obsessed with when Naxos will reissue Leinsdorfs "Die Walkuere"
in their historical series.  I have already their "Parsifal" and "Tristan"
in the transfers, and they were excellent, so now I want "Die Walkuere"!
Should Klaus Heyman be onlist, I take this opportunity to give this
little wink; that I am at this time a little tired of
release-yes/release-no/release-yes/release-no!  I don't want "Die Walkuere"
in a decade, or in a year, or in a month, or even in a week...I want it
NOW!!
