There are reams of classical CDs in this combo. #A few:

Galfetti, Duilio & D. Fasolis. 2000. Mandolin and Fortepiano. Arts Music, 47610-2.
(Period instruments including 4-string mandolino Cremonese.)

Lichtenberg, Caterina et al. 1997. Musikinstrumente des Ferdinandeums 4. Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum Innsbruck.
(Period instruments and beautifully played, but tempi a little slow for my taste.)

Orlandi, Ugo & Orchestra di Mandolini e Chittare "Citta di Brescia." 1998. Circolo Mandolinistico Italiano. Nuoval Era, 7305.

Orlandi, Ugo & Orchestra di Mandolini e Chittare "Citta di Brescia." 2000. Mandolin & Japan. Nuova Era, 7348.

Orlandi, Ugo et al. 2002. Serenata Veneziana. Nuova Era, 7374.
(Orlandi's stuff always provides an interesting window into some programmatic bit of mando history.)

Nanya, Hirokazu. 1997. Sixty-first Birthday Commemorate Mandolin Recital. #Voicelle, VXD-97839.

Nanya, Hirokazu. 2001. Mandolin Recital. #Voicelle, VXD-2A1438.
(Mr. Nanya's CDs are live recordings and a little heavy on error.)

Reina, Nunzio & A. Garavello. 2001. #Raffaele Calace: Opere per Mandolino e Pianoforte. QBforme Records, QB 01A002.
(Good stuff played on a modern mandolin from the shop Calace himself founded. I got both the QB CDs I've listed directly from the Calace shop.)

Stephens, Alison et al. 1991. Music for Mandolin. Amon Ra, #53.
(Modern instruments and crisp, clean performance.)

Trio Musica Moderna. 2000. Raffaele Calace: Opere per Mandolino Liuto cantabile e Pianoforte. QBforme Records, QB 00A001.
(Liuto cantabile is a mando-cello with an added high e'.)

Walz, Richard & V. Sofronitzki. 1998. Works for Mandolin and Fortepiano. Globe, GLO 5187.
(One of my favorite period-instrument recordings of these venerable classics.)

Walz, Richard & M. Tomikuza. 1999. Mandolin Treasures from the Golden Era. Plucked String Disc, PSD 007.
(Played on a tasty 1908 Vega. #A follow-up CD is promised by Belmando.)
