[78-L] Avshalomov concerto

[samhopper at mail.com]

Interestingly, Columbia set 286 - Avshalomov Concerto - is not mentioned at all in the W.E.R.M encyclopaedia...
While researching my Col. Masterworks discography, I have not found one mention of this set in all the documents I have read.

My contact in Yale Uni has noted that they do not have a copy of this set.
The Library of Congress has 1 copy of the recording in 78rpm format.

You can hear samples of this interesting concerto (not this recording) here:

I wonder if anybody has this set? (Hey, I wonder if I have it? Dave Burnham, 
have you run across it in our mutual storage areas? If it was ever in a 
Carnegie Library, I might have picked it up when I went through the clearance 
sale at Hobart-William Smith College.)
