Sure. I didn't realize this at the time I wrote the review, but apparently
the copyright issue creates problems for buying the CD. A New Zealand
company, Concordance, publishes the score and has released the CD. The
Great God Google lists the following URL:
https://www.creditcardguard.net.nz/~concorda/purchase.htm
The price is listed in New Zealand dollars, but there's a currency
converter. Also, from here you can get to reviews and other stuff about
the CD.
