David,
The Bennett Melodiya discography seems to affirm that there were not other
Brandenburgs by Barshai (Barshay), at least not on that label. I know that I
have a CD at home of the complete Brandenburgs performed by Russian forces
that I will check as soon as I can (presuming I can locate it), but it
probably is not connected to Barshai.
