## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- |
| us-2002-cd | identity | disputed | Release date differs by source: Deutsche Grammophon gives 2 September 2002, MusicBrainz and the second Amazon.de listing 10 September 2002, Discogs only 2002, and the Amazon.de listing that prints the barcode an "original release date" of 2004. The maker's date is used. | ^dg |
| us-2002-cd | identity | unknown | Discogs prints the catalogue number as 289 471 758-2 and MusicBrainz as 471 758-2; both name the same barcode. The Discogs entry is marked Needs Vote. | ^discogs |
| | markets | not_researched | Discogs says Made in USA, but no US retailer listing printing this barcode could be fetched (amazon.com answered HTTP 500 to the server); US is left out of country_of_sale. | |
| | identity | unknown | A second Amazon.de listing (B00TU7PL1M) describes the same catalogue number 471 758, 3 discs, Made in USA, but prints no barcode; it is probably the same article under another ASIN and is not used as market evidence. | ^amzde-2 |
| | relationships | unknown | No source names the GS1 licensee of prefix 0028947; gs1_prefix_owner omitted. Pressing plant not researched (no matrix photo). | |
| | media | not_researched | Per-recording dates are not split by work: Discogs lists May 1993, May and December 1994 and December 1990 at SUNY Purchase without assigning them to tracks. | ^discogs |
| | identity | unknown | No source names a product line or other edition of this compilation, so no family is set; Discogs places it in the "Trio 3 CDs" series and Deutsche Grammophon calls it "Trio". | ^discogs |

## Research <!--research-->

reviewed_on: 2026-09-14
note: Runtime 229 min is the sum of the playing times Discogs transcribes from the release (77:23, 74:04, 77:43); the MusicBrainz track lengths sum to 228 min. Identity confirmed by the maker page (UPC printed), MusicBrainz, Discogs and an Amazon.de listing, all naming the same 3-CD Orpheus Handel set.
