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.

If you could not get a webpage to come up that shows all 5 movements (1 Shumann and 4 Tchaikovsky), try this little trick. Click on
the link to the download webpage, while pressing the CTRL key. That should open the download webpage at Alexander Street in a new tab, at least with the Google Chrome browser. That webpage should show all 5 movements and links in MP3 and WMA to all of them. This may work only one time; when I tried it the first time, it worked, but when I tested it a second and third time, it didn't.
Another little trick (one that works nicely for a lot of things) that might work with this situation, is to open up a web browser that you haven't used previously to go to Alexander Street (so there aren't any "cookies" that have been tracking you to know that you've been there before) and navigate to
the download webpage.
If all else fails, and you feel comfortable doing it, you might want to use an anti-Malware program or something like CCleaner or PC Decrapifier (you can get all three of those free from the Internet) to clean out your cookies (no, that doesn't mean the same thing as "to toss your cookies" ha). Then, go to
the download webpage at Alexander Street.
But, don't lollygag around! The next weekly download from Alexander Street is due in about a day from now, and then the current offer will be gone.
Hopefully, Alexander Street's future downloads won't have this issue.
