Morning George.

Is this CD already included in this set I have?

I don't know. Does it contain those three Chopin works? My CD is a 2CD, actually.

I think what I found on Amazon should be accurate and is attached.  I am having a crisis in CD storage.  My plan for a spinning tower with 1600 CD capacity that is to hold my entire CD collection of JS Bach works and thereby free up a lot of existing storage space is now on hold as the unit has been out of stock since late last year.  Perhaps the manufacturer has gone out of business.  To make a long story short, I do not know off hand where this Sokolov set is.  It can be at any of six locations at my house ...   

It looks like only the 24 Preludes are on the set ...

The other two works might be in the other Sokolov box.

The other two works might be in the other Sokolov box.

Looks like they are all in this set.  But I will be stuck with some duplicates again ...

Now playing CD1 from this set - S1 and S2 ...

All the rest are maiden works to me too. Running through those now

Hi Bill

It was a download on Amazon UK.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Schumann-Concerto-Konzertst%C3%BCck-Schubert-Interpretation/dp/B001GTMQ60/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1

The copyrights dates show 1952 and 1965.

The only reviewer state 1964 for the Schumann pieces (besides the PC, that CD also includes Introduction and Allegro apassionato for Piano and Orchestra (Konzertstück), Op. 92 (Instrumental)) and 1952 for the Moments Musicaux.


Edit :

confirmed as 1952 and 1964 here too : http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=94844
