Hello,
I'm offering a free CD of Rachmaninoff's sonata in G minor, opus 19 for cello and piano recorded on the Bainbridge label. For those not familiar with this company they initially began making sound effects recordings, mostly steam locomotives (Mobile Fidelity followed the same route). Here's a link to a Stereophile review done by J. Gordon Holt:

In order to win this postage paid, lovingly used CD just pick a number and let me know. I'll announce the winner on the 16th of May.
Enjoy, Ken
