Subject: "Balada para un loco": any instrumental versions ?

I am trying to locate versions of A.P.'s "Balada para un loco" which are purely instrumental. I came across a delightful piano version played by Ruben Nazer, on a Brazilian website, but can find no information about either him or a recording. If anyone has knowledge of versions of this magnificent melody, played without vocals I would be grateful. Please send them to dgurr@shaw.ca and I will relay to List.
Perhaps I should add that I have total admiration for the original, with Ferrer doing his own voice in the opera. I was able to attend the Gidon Kremer performance of Maria de Bs As when his ensemble stopped over in Vancouver en route Japan: an unforgettable part of my musical and tango life.
