========================
Thanks Stewart,

I'm having a heck of a time finding this piece.  Classical music isn't as 
profitable here in the U.S. as contemporary music.  I went to several of the 
main chains and attempted to locate this without any success.  I printed out 
the message that Ward wrote, and provided a highlighted section to the 
visiting store district manager (22 yrs old), and his reply was, "Yo man, I 
ain't never herd of 'dis 'tuff befo."  He was an example of what corporate 
retail market chains are doing, hiring extremely inexperienced & extremely 
young people into management positions.  They pay them less and save money.  

I had asked (at Borders retail store) if they could research & order 
something but alas, their music is predesignated by marketing analysts and 
shipped to them without any input from the store.

"THIS" is one of the things I miss about England...!  There are so many very 
old book & record stores there & classical music has a much broader market, I 
would have no difficulty finding it there.

Ok - enough ranting.

I think that I may have located this on Amazon conducted by the Berlin 
Symphonic Orchestra.  (if you can) would mind terribly cut/pasting this URL 
into your browser and double checking?

Thank you, I sincerely appreciate your help :)

Warmest regards,
Shannon
