Come sai io e te siamo un po diversi rispetto a Vito e Ema, che giustamente mettono il valore artistico di fronte a quello dell'incisione.
Insomma, a me piace anche per il gusto di ascoltare! E se non fosse cosi' non mi sarei avvicinato alla classica, e non mi vergogno a dirlo (in realta' un po si!
Il repertorio di per se non mi stuzzica molto ma sono 50 cd cacchio! A £75 vuol dire che siamo a £1.5 a disco.

434 371 The Composer and His Orchestra
Note that the original reissue came with a second disc with a discussion by Hanson of orchestration and some of the works, with musical examples. Apparently, not here.
CD 9
Dorati / Minneapolis Symphony
Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture (April 1958); Capriccio Italien (Dec. 1955)
Beethoven: Wellington's Victory (June 1960)
434 360 Tchaikovsky: 1812 Festival Overture; Capriccio Italien; Beethoven: Wellington's Victory.
Note that the same program was also published earlier on 416 448, but with Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet-Overture instead of Capriccio italien, Dorati cond Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture, Romeo & Juliet Overture ; Beethoven Wellington's Victory (Mercury). Apparently this earlier batch of reissues (I've located also a Sousa disc by Fennell and Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances by Dorati) was NOT supervized by Wilma Cozart and not made after the original 35 mm films, but from x generation dubs previously used for LPs, so they are better avoided.
CD 10

434 355 ASIN B0000057MR. The original issue has also Grofé's Mississipi-Suite (4 & 5 May 1958), so I am supposing that the Collector's edition does too.

As mentioned there had been an earlier release of the Sousa Marches by Fennel, 416 147-2 ASIN B00000E347, but I haven't been able to establish if it collected the same 24, and anyway it is one of those non-Wilma Cozart remastered releases.

Ho messo in neretto i dischi che per un motivo o per l'altro mi potrebbero interessare, vuoi perche' mi piace il repertorio, vuoi perche' non conosco molto compositori come Stravinsky e Ravel.
Adesso faccio i conti della serva....
