Where to buy recordings

·        http://www.amazon.co.uk

 

  • House of Opera: non commercially available recordings of specific performances. The recording quality varies from very good (Tempest) to very poor (La Scala Zauberflöte): We feel that we should warn you, if you are considering buying from House of Opera, that we have recently heard of serious problems with delivery (posted 19 February 2007) http://store.operapassion.com/index.html

  • Andante, a subscription website offering some recordings of Simon's concert and recital work: http://www.andante.com
