Kazuhito Yamashita: Dvorak Symphony No. 9 "From the New World"

I've been meaning to post this for a couple of months, but got absorbed by the Ricercare for Orchestra.

A reader has alerted me that there is a copy for download at the Scribd site:

Dvorak, Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" Transcribed by Kazuhito Yamashita

Scribd is $9.00 per month, and I haven't explored it yet, but it's sure nice to have this transcription after wanting it for so many years. If anyone out there knows where Yamashita's transcriptions of Firebird and Pictures at an Exhibition are, please contact me because I'm looking for those too.

UPDATE: 06/04/13. Yamashita's transcription of Pictures and an Exhibition is also on Scribd:

Mussorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition, transcribed by Kazuhito Yamashita

Alas, Stravinsky's Firebird Suite is not there, and that's the one I want the most (Figures).
