I just read the previous responses, I have been trying to locate a particularly hard to find cd, Mendelssohn violin sonatas done by Shlomo Mintz & Paul Ostrovsky on DG. This selection is out of print. My usual source for imports is Tower Records UK website. There is a source in New York called Parnassus Records (www.parnassusrecords.com) that will search for out of print cds, they are still looking.
I recently found a site called mdt (www.mdt.co.uk) and I searched under Mendelssohn & violin sonatas, the Mendelssohn
cd came up as a reissue. I then checked with a source I have dealt with in New York for imports called Rhinebeck Records (800-446-2084) he condirmed it and is ordering it for me. The interesting part is that the cd is not showing up on Towers UK site or Amazons UK site when I have checked today.
I wanted share these experiences, Tower UK is usually very good for things in print and their shipping is reasonable. Rhinebeck is a alternative if Tower cannot get things and a bit more spendy, Parnassus is good for searches, but will only look for out of print items. I have only used mdt as source for locating items as I prefer to be able to talk to a real person when possiable.
