You should compare these with the set on NAXOS with Adrian Leaper ansd the
Ireland National Symphony Orchestra, which is a very fine reading; no.1 is
brilliant and lighthearted, nr 2 has its mighty tromboneplaying in allegro
collerico, it is mihghty and powerful, nr.3 is elegant and subtle, nr.4 is
mystic, nr.5 is demonic, and nr.6 is as most puzzling as it is supposed to
be. A wonderful experience all together.

You should check if they are on "DaCapo" or "Marco Polo" - else I bet
they're not.
