Nice piece, but it's commercially available.

Is this performance available? On which label, please?

Correction from Rozhlas (http://program.rozhlas.cz/stanice/2014-11-10?st=3), btw- pianist is  Zdeněk Kožina, not   Kožena (- like the soprano whose first name is Magdalena).

A websearch "Voříšek" "Zdeněk Kožina" "Liška" turns up nothing except a few radio-related links. So at a guess anyway, it's a studio or concert-related recording...

Well, I'm not sure about that particular performance, but the piece is available on CD, I thought on the label Supraphon.

Available in MP3 format here I think: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vo-Symphony-Variations-bravoure-Introduction/dp/B008A602BI/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1422789651&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=Vorisek+%2BBoris+Krajny (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vo-Symphony-Variations-bravoure-Introduction/dp/B008A602BI/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1422789651&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=Vorisek+%2BBoris+Krajny)
The recording dates from 1986 (?), originally released on vinyl. But this is NOT the same performance as the one in the Downloads section of this forum.
Unfortunately, none of the Vorisek concertante pieces we had in the Downloads section appears to be available any more!

On that basis, for now I'll leave it be. Thanks.

Availability does not preclude an upload at UC. It has to be the same performance for this not to be allowed.

Or - I think - (I'm no admin or even in the line of hide-me-during-SotU-address succession) perhaps in some cases, a strong suspicion of its being the same performance, even if dates cannot be exactly established as being the same (on the better safe &c principle, perhaps. But I'm not sure that applies here either, no.

Well since it can't be downloaded from the Downloads section anymore the whole question seems rather academic (grumpy hurrumph!)

I could see if I downloaded the mp3 (downsized to 128) and reupload it...

That'd be very good of you, Eric. Neither Mark or I know where it went....

Thanks for making it available again, Eric.

Thanks very firmly seconded, Eric.

Indeed, Eric. Thirded!
