† A few private copies are said to exist. Testament once planned to issue the recording on CD with the Piano Concerto no. 1 as SBT1110. The British Library Sound Archive has a recording of sides 2-6 (side 1 missing) listed as BIRS tape M1861W (not M1681W as in the Hughes discography).

‡ CD wrongly gives the Borodin Quartet's post-1976 lineup. The first and second violins should be Rostislav Dubinsky (who emigated to the USA) and Jaroslav Alexandrov. The cellist's name is Valentin Berlinsky not Vladimir. I do not know whether the details are correct on the Warner CD.
