It's on the Sonora label and can be found here:

He, he it's a little expensive. But it's a great recording! TD plays with a cup mute in the 2nd. Wow, what passion!! It's very exciting!
FYI, Dokshitser recorded his own transcription of the concerto on a cd called "Russian Treasures", available from ITG. He uses a cup mute in the 2nd movement. There also exists a video with excerpts of a performance of this transcription, which is available at Tap Music Sales.
