    Unfortunately I have no other volumes. There are some videos in the internet, but no audiofiles, as far as I know. The only thing one can do then is to get the book with CD.
    Sorry.

    Fantastic! Many of these singers & groups are so serious, it's wonderful to hear one where the singer & ensemble are obviously enjoying themselves, and are able to communicate that enjoyment to the listener. This goes to the top of my listening list! Thank you.
