Wagner Excerpt Books or CD-ROMs

I've been working on Wagner Excerpts lately and would like to find out what books or CD-ROMs people recommend??

I already have the Trumpet Excerpt Collection CD-ROM (Cherry) and the Top 50 Orchestral Excerpts (Norris)..

Does anything know about these : Orchestra Musician's CD-ROM Library, v.11 (Wagner Part 1)and Orchestra Musician's CD-ROM Library, v.12 (Wagner Part 2)?

Thanks,
Kevin

Our Orchestral Repertoire class uses printouts from those CD-ROMS, and I've seen the parts. They're solid, clean copies, accurate and easy to read. The only issue with the collections is that they're not oriented towards trumpet specifically, so you have to make sure that the parts you're getting are worth your while. If you're looking for Wagner excerpts and they have the complete Wagner, I would imagine it'd be exactly what you're looking for.

I seem to remember books of Wagner excerpts (similar to the Bach, Handel and Strauss on Hickeys.com) but a brief search turned up only the Orchestral Musician's CD-ROM Library.

Thanks Stuart, that's the kind of Feedback i was looking for..
I'd rather have the complete parts than just the excerpts.. That's why I love the "Cherry" CD-Rom.
