Do I have any chance? Somewhere (not yet unpacked) I have it on a double disc -- either VoxBox or Allegretto, IIRC, which means it was under $10. It appears on disc 1 as the major work with a variety of Beethoven bagatelles and minor piano pieces -- disc 2 is taken up with about 6 Wagner overtures, incl a ravishing rendition of Rienzi. Can't remember who's playing unfortunately -- at least not till I find which of the twelve boxes of CDs awaiting unpacking its in. Cheers Tim Mahon [log in to unmask]
