I didn't know of that 3-CD set. I looked on discogs last night and all they indicated was the 1 CD.
But the set was released in 1998 and shows on Mariotti's own site. I'll search more when I have time.

Indeed, Discogs does not list this release. Allmusic.com has more information.The Fonè label from Pisa (AFAIK, a rather personal effort by its founder Giulio Cesare Ricci) is still operative, but I cannot find any mention of the Mariotti / Busoni releases on its webpage (or of another niche of the repertoire they worked on, the CDs of which are also in my collection, namely live recordings of the obscurer Mascagni operas from Livorno).

There's this rather enigmatic page on amazon.co.uk. I'll get in touch with them and see whether they'll refund me if that £9.95 listing turns out to be for something else (if you click on it you'll see why I'm slightly concerned)

And amazon say "As I have checked, this item is currently unavailable on the website, due to which you are getting different item." So that's that.

Damn! Well, if I see a copy anywhere, I'll let you know.

I'm listening to Mariotti's recording of the Fantasia contrappuntistica as I write, and your description is spot on. "Expressive lyricism" is an excellent description. Music making of the highest calibre!  :)

Amazon US shows an offering by a Marketplace seller, but I fear the item may be misidentified and their classical database has become such crap that I wouldn't order without contacting the seller and asking for specifics.
