Discographies
You want to hear more? You can peruse the discographies of the online music stores (and order from them if you wish) or simply check what's out there at the other sites. For CDnow and the All-Music Guide, you'll have to manually search for Astor's recordings to find what you're looking for.

I plan to have a completely linked discography here in the near future - for now, my partial one will have to do. The dates in the following refer to year of release, not year of recording, which often, especially for the live concerts, accounts for a difference of up to 5 years.
