For some reason, it was not necessary for me to log in in order to download the files. Perhaps your experience will be the same. Try clicking on the blue "Download" button on the webpage http://www.alexanderstreet.com/page/...-download-week. That should take you to this webpage: http://musicdownloads.alexanderstreet.com/promo/, where you can download the files.
There are 5 movements, I think. Each one is in WMA and MP3. Since that represents nearly 2 hours(!) of playing time, I have not been able to listen to them yet. So, I cannot vouch for the quality of the sound yet. |
I've found that the download page sometimes has just the single Schumann piece, but sometimes also has all four movements of Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony. (I haven't found a pattern to the extra files being there/not being there.)
FWIW, if you can get the Tchaikovsky 5 (and from your message it looks like you did, GtrsRGr8), the recording seems to be by the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra / Fernando Lozano.
