There is a CD of the Seiber Notturno currently available (but not Brain's recording). It is on Soren Hermansson's CD Horn Concertos (BIS-CD-376).

The BBC recorded Brain playing the Notturno (on July 29, 1955, with Basil Cameron and the LSO strings), and judging by a tape that I was given years ago, both performance and sonics justify a CD issue.
