I have not yet encountered such a recording - one of the advantages of the companies' lack of interest in classical music. I am told that some readers, notably Plextors, are not disturbed by many of the "protection" schemes. The rumors about a marker on the outer portion of the disc defeating the Cactus scheme are correct, but that would not be a recommended solution. The tracks should be accessible using a selector such as Session Selector in Easy CD Creator or Multimounter in Nero. They should also be extractable (not your objective, I know) with ISOBuster or CD/DVD Diagnostic (or the more costly Inspector). All of those are linked from the CD-R side of my WWW site.
