The work I would most like to hear a new recording of is the Weingartner
orchestration of Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata. There are a couple
of really old recordings with grossly inadequate sound (including
Weingartner's own) but even in them the dynamics and sustained legato
in some passages make for a powerful difference with even the best piano
performances.

But direct ordering is possible, yes?
