Michael - Thanks very much for the info on the Weingartner recording.
And thanks for the timings of the Weingartner movements (to the second
- what room service!).

It appears the cd is no longer available. A search of their catalog (http://www.fontec.co.jp/english.shtml
) shows two recordings by Kazuko Ninomiya but not the Weingartner.
Or are you aware of it's availability somewhere?

Thanks,
Simon
