Royal Philharmonic Orchestra  conducted by  Charles Munch 
Reader's Digest  RDS 5025 (12LP boxset)  1963 Decca LP/matrices: P2RS-2091/2 -1G.  Recorded: 5 & 9/10 April 1963 -Walthamstow Assembly Hall. 

The Tchaikovsky is without faults as on the Brahms 4/Reiner... The Bizet is altogether excellent with some sparkling playing. Not bothering with the other Orchestral's in the Treasury set - CRQ Editions will do £8 specials of this/the lot - but 5 are already here (+Danon/Kempe/Krips/Reiner)...go there!

NB: By September 2023 (10 months) there were some 2500 downloads of this post..got ONE (brief) comment: hardly surprising that I no longer care!!
