This week Classic Select World has two Brahms concerto freebies - with Peter Serkin. They seem quite decent in Flac format.
I also decided to lash out slightly more than £1 [£1.07 as charged I think] and buy a Mozart download also with Peter Serkin - also decent enough.
One hiccup I had with downloads from this site was a recent Flac [I think] download which sounds really bad - I'll have to ask if there's a better version. Even most mp3s are better than that one.
Search for Peter Serkin on this site - to find the freebies - £0.
Classical, Jazz, Pop, World and Country Music on CD, DVD, Digital Downloads and Blu-Ray at Great Prices! Featuring classical music by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi and performances by Karajan, Bernstein, Bocelli, Callas, Perlman and more. Featuring jazz, classic pop and rock and roll from the 1950s and 1960s.

I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

This week's freebie download from Classic Select World has Mischa Elman playing Mendelssohn's E minor concerto and Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole. It is available in several formats including Flac [download that for preference - or get that and the mp3 or even all three offered formats] - though don't expect miracles. The Flac is - however - OK - unlike one or two others I've had from this source, it's just a somewhat dull sounding recording. The orchestra is the Vienna State Opera Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Golschmann.
It is of interest because of the violinist. I've not knowingly ever heard any recordings by this artist before. It's perhaps not going to be one of my favourite versions of these pieces, but worth hearing nevertheless.

Is there a list of his earlier recordings which are still available?

I have CD sets of Aldo Ciccolini in Debussy and Satie, of which I am very fond. Downloaders may be interested in an undoubted bargain from 7digital - L'Art D'Aldo Ciccolini, 8 CDs including Chopin Nocturnes Book 1 and 2, Grieg Complete Lyric Pieces and other works. Only £6,99 for FLAC (Presto are charging £88). Seems to be error-free, unlike some 7Digital stuff.
