from the website http://uzeyir.musigi-dunya.az/en/fonoteka.html - they are in some weird format (".ogg").  I've converted them all to mp3. A curious mixture - complete operas, full orchestral pieces (symphonic, concertante), chamber, solo piano, folk pieces, romances, oriental pieces, Soviet propaganda works, variety show pieces...
