Dan,

I have the old Cleveland, prior William Preucil, and old Tokyo, prior  
Peter Ohngyn(?), WOW!!! what a killer performance.  I'm quite fond of  
this recording.  I've tried looking for it on CD and have not been  
successful.  The performance is truly one to get hold of.

If no one has heard Preucil with the new Cleveland Quartet, it is a  
*must*!.  What an artist!  I don't think the Cleveland has *ever*  
sounded as it does now.  Just marvelous!
