Cello Concerto No. 2,  Pan, Scherzo, Four Pieces for Orchestra, Andante religioso for orchestra and Lemminkainen are all on Ondine.

[Dundonnell]

Thanks

The reason I missed the Cello Concerto No.2 is because the cd seems to have disappeared from the Ondine catalogue

Thanks!  I just needed a reference to it, because I knew I saw it somewhere, but I couldn't remember where!

A simple search conducted from the home page would have taken you to the thread containing the answer
