: Perhaps you'd already left for the tour, but I posted a follow-up to the effect that I had been misinformed about the availability of that CD; it is indeed still in print. Indeed, I found it the next day at my local Tower. So everyone can relax and go shop with confidence. And I concur with your enthusiasm for the performance. Rose at his greatest!
Yes, Bob, I did miss that post. Phew, I'm glad more people will have the chance to check out this performance!! But don't wait long, folks. Word thru the grapevine is that when a TOP official at CBS Sony was approached about a reissue of Michael Rabin recordings (Rabin, for the younger readers, was a fabulous American violinist who died at 36), the official, who should know better in a manner commensurate with his position, (convinced, by the way, that only movie soundtracks should make up Sony's classical line) snapped back with, "Who the HELL is Michael Rabin?!?! IMHO, the end is near.
