if your looking for orchestral, or piano, hell any 'classical' music, make sure you do some light research into orchestras/performers/ensembles
as a performance of any large scale work varies HUGELY, not to mention the classical world has its 'boy bands' too that ham everything up

a lot of orchestras really need the money they get from their record deals.

you should buy the CDs =).

I am a classical performer, trained in the arts since the tender age of 6 :)

I am looking for recordings of band/symphonic band compilations. Some are "old school classical" some are modern. Specificially:

La Gazza Ladra - Rossini
Sonoran Desert Holiday - Nelson
Profanation (don't know the composer)
Tam O'Shanter - Malcom Arnold
a good recording of Lincolnshire Posey - Granger
Armenian Dances - Reed
Francesca da Rimini - Tchaikovsky

I have a performance in April and I'd like to hear actual recordings, it helps me to listen to recordings so I can get a feel for the music.

Thanks for any help!

I probably have the biggest classical library in my state :) It's so hard to find recordings of what I need though, which is why I ask others :) Hell, I'd be more than happy to buy the CD if anyone can lead me to them!
