Dear Fred,
I smiled at your reply. Yes the volume pub. by Alabama University is a
complete slightly reduced in size copy of the original music .I purchased my
copy at a remainder book store in Johannesburg two years back. Obviously it
didn't have appeal to the locals.

Let me add, that about a decade back I recorded as pianist the complete book
for "echnacha" on Israel Radio's "Kol Hamusica "with singer Yaakov Zamir
 Peter Terry ].Echnacha is usually a live broadcast done on Monday
afternoons here in Jerusalem. Yaakov had a fascinating voice for he was both
a tenor and male soprano! And the work was recorded with him switching
voices for the songs sung.Performed at one go Issac Nathan's magnum opus
takes a hour and 3/4; and the station had to reschedule their programmes
owing to the "lenght" of this work. We hadn't really timed it before our
Israeli premire.! Unfortunately I don't have a copy  of the recording; but
I'm sure its to be found in the archives of Israel Broadcasting Authority.
Its been rebroadcast a number of times since.

Raymond Goldstein
