Adam,

I am very interested in having a copy of the Tchaikovsky. As a high school
clarinet player, in a band in San Antonio, I would listen to this recording
frequently. My band director held all of the Goldman band recordings close
to his heart. It seems to me that the recording was with that band? or at
least their clarinet section? It was an incredible performance.

If there is a way for me to acquire this on CD or even other media please
let me know. I'd be very glad to pay for any production cost. I have the
technology to transfer the recording to CD and I know others on the group do
as well. Ben Maas for one.

Please let me know.

Regards,
