Please help: unknown CD

December 12, 2008, 09:07:42 pm

After spending a few holidays with a suitcase of CDs, I bought a player and started moving all the music on it... it's certainly lighter and easier to handle now

Anyway, apart from some others, this one disc in particular is a mystery to me. I identified Rachmaninov's second symphony just fine, and the first track is just a fanfare, but can't even begin to guess the other works.

Does anyone know/guess what these might be?

PS: it was a gift from exchange students to my mother.

Well the composer are written there in plain latin letters. Other than that retranslation is difficult for me.

1. fanfare

2nd Poulenc
2nd piece? for piano and ?

3rd Rutter
lesser(?) magnifikat

4th said Rachmaniow

5th Delibes
Ballet "Koppelia" (well the name is just sound ... )

This is all my japanese can muster on a short time scale ...

Thank you! It is 100% correct, I checked all these works and the movement (?) names and lengths match.

Is there any information on artists?
