Other recordings of this collection are available on CD, but this one does not appear to be. It is performed by Ensemble 13 Baden Baden, and was published in 1978 as a 3LP set on Deutsche Harmonia Mundi (1 C 65-99721/23). The excellent recording was produced by Paul Dery, Anita Forst, and Wolfgang Wlorczyk, and engineered by Anton Enders and Norbert Klövekorn. The transcription is very clean and detailed. The torrent includes a PDF file with scans of the extensive notes in German from the booklet that came with the set, including names of the performers in each work. The PDF file also has the notes in English from another recording I have of this collection, for the benefit of AGP partisans who don't read German well.
