If you have over 6,000 CDs then I am sure that you do not have any recordings of La Mer. There is a Sinopoli disk of Debussy/Ravel that has La Mer, Bolero, Daphnis suite that I really like. Also if you like Verdi, his recording of Nabucco is really good also. I am pretty sure the La Mer is OOP unfortunately. Steve M.
