re: classical orchestras

Thanks all for the great help. It was useful. I have bought the Naxos version of Quartet for the end of time. It's wonderful. A cover of Naked City is being played. Also I was looking for Penderecki's Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima. But none of the people in the store knew this piece. They also looked in a very big catalogue, but they couldn't find it. They said it was probably only recorded "back in the day". Is this a really obscure piece? Is it maybe too eerie for them? Also I saw very cheap boxsets by EMI-classics. Among others, complete symphonies by Sibelius 8 cdboxset costs about the normal price of one cd! Kris np: Messiaen: Quartet for the End of Time (Amici Ensemble)
