    We are happy to offer 3 new Russian Masters CDs. Please look up our catalogue for vol. 27 to 29. This time we have to go back to a subscription basis. It means that the release of any of the 3 new CDs depends on the number of order we manage to collect in the near future. We hope you will vote for the new RM volumes by placing your advance orders. We will contact you again when/if a necessary amount of order is reached. At that stage when we make sure there is enough orders to proceed we will suggest you to pay for your order in hopes that the total withdrawal (if any) will be small and won't affect the issue.

    We have no information about earlier commercial releases of any of the recordings that are scheduled for the new Russian Masters CDs except for the 3 cases noted in our catalogue (click on the corresponding footnote signs for the references)

    We hope that those who have supported our project earlier will find some interesting recordings among the new ones. However the choice is bigger for those who visit our site for the first time....

    Kind Regards,

    Russian Masters
