No. If it's really worth it I'm sure the powers that be will release it.

Having not seen the live event, is it possible that there are parts of the 
film without musical accompaniment? Plus the CD may exclude some passages, 
that's fairly common on soundtrack releases to make the listening experience 
more cohesive. Or maybe they scored to a PAL DVD, which would run 4% faster 
than the film is supposed to (not knowing the technical specs any released 
Potemkin DVDs, of course) and so would explain the shortfall.
