The Essential Joshua Bell

I am still upset that Sony has not caved to Joshua's wishes regarding the content of the tracklistings for this album and the order in which he preferred to assemble them. Though I thoroughly enjoy Joshua's work, I will not buy one these CDs until and unless they are remastered as Joshua himself preferred. The credits cited on the back of the CD are so full of factual errors that it is not at all a laughing matter. I realize that this CD was rushed into production in order to take advantage of the publicity for the Avery Fisher Prize, but as they say, "haste makes waste." I realize it would cost a small fortune to remaster this recording and repackage it, but has Sony no pride?
