Back in 2020, Derek Gleeson arranged Beethoven's Violin Concerto, Op. 61, and the composer's own arrangement for piano and orchestra, Op. 61a, as a double concerto.  A 7' excerpt has been on youtube since then, performed by Pavel Ć porcl (vn), Svetlana Smolina (pf), and the Dublin PO under Gleeson.  It appears that the whole arrangement was recorded at the studios of Bulgarian National Radio, but I have not been able to track it down and inquiries to the performers have yielded no response.  Does anyone have this recording or another performance?  Maybe Toccata Classics or some other label could release what appears to be an interesting fusion of the composer's two versions of Op. 61.
