Altus Label - Japan

[mathias broucek]

While on Holiday in Barcalona, I came upon a Celibidache/Munich Bruckner 5 on the above label

It was recorded live in Tokyo in good and is an "authorised" release.

The booklet included some other mouthwatering performances mostly recorded by European orchestras on Japanese tours. However the discs don't seem to be imported to the UK. Any suggestions as to how one can find them that don't involve silly costs?

Thanks

I remember seeing a review in Diapason. They claim to supply Altus discs - see

but I can't vouch for Diapason as a supplier, alas. Not cheap but at least imports from the EU don't attract duty. Amazon France seems to have a few:

Happy hunting!
