    As the title says i am not filled with hope but thought i would give it a try.

    So a few years back there was a free classical cd with i *think* the sunday world. This cd contained the most moving performance of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata i have ever heard and i had a digital copy of the cd but it appears to have vanished from my hard drive.

    I am nearly sure the cd cover was black and had a picture of a rose/roses possibly on a varnished wooden table, and it was one of the standard cardboard slips. Oh and to make it a little more difficult i have no idea who performed the movement :o

    I have scoured the net trying to find this one performance or one even close to it and have failed

    Come on boards amaze me by someone on here having this cd :D

    Was in my parents' house today and had a look. They seem to have about three other Ireland on Sunday/Sunday Times CDs but not the one with the rose on the front (with the 'Moonlight' on it). However, it must be floating around somewhere as my mother remembers having it and I remember putting it on at Christmas. Will let you know if it ever turns up. I have a sneaking suspicion the pianist may have been Daniel Barenboim, but to be honest I can't really remember clearly.

    I have this CD if it's wanted. Weirdly enough it's probably the first recording of Moonlight Sonata I ever heard.

    If it was played by Jando then there's a very good chance you could get it from Naxos, GAAman. Try out http://www.naxosmusiclibrary.com. Useful enough and I think you can sign in as a guest.
