      Short and to the point: these were only available several decades back & spread around several ceedees..

    Many thanks - great sound. Strange that Chesky didn't issue them all on one CD.

      Great pressing, too!
      The Tchaikovsky was a novelty (think this is Sargent's arrangement) as only knew it from the vastly entertaining movie "Without a Clue" (Caine/Kingsley).
      There's a Fistoulari disc in that box - and have a superb-sounding RCA/Italy pressing of another RPO - G.Parisienne.
