Paul, but now lives in Israel.  Having the first name and correct spelling of 
the last should help you find it on the Web.  If not, he was managed by a Twin 
Cities agent at one time (and may still be).  I can put you in touch if the Web 
is no help.  It's recorded, as I recall, on a CD of works for flute and 
orchestra.

Paul, by the way, is a Chasid.  Balancing his career and his observance was, to 
be sure, complex when I knew him.
