Available in CD? RCA Direct Master "Appassionata

I bought this many years ago and am trying to find it on CD. It is a RCA Direct Master Series 45 R.P.M. Beethoven "Appassionata" with Ikuyo Kamiya, pianist played on a Bosendorfer, Imperial. marked RDC 4. I still have the record and I remember it sounding specatacular. Does anyone have any idea if it is available on CD or about its recording quality?

I just remembered having the record, my phono stage is on the fritz, and $15.00 sounded easier to spend than $1500.
But yes it is a great recording, but I don't know anyone that could record it to CD.

If no one around you could do it, I got a new toy from Yamaha that is able to record from analog sounces onto a hard drive and then onto CD. I can give it a try at some point for you, once I figure out how it's done, as I have the record too--doubt it will be state of the art, although the vinyl playback system is pretty good.

I would sure appreciate a copy. Let me know when you're ready and I'll send you my address. I would be glad to pay for postage.
Thanks,

I'll see if I can figure it out this week or weekend. My guess is I can run a line out from my tape out jacks into the Yamaha's analog inputs, so I can also monitor what I'm recording. Only problem I've encountered so far has been the Yamaha doesn't seem to like my blank gold CD-Rs; I'll try another type to see if it's just the type of disc.
