I have a Philips two-disc 1994 reissue set (442 583-2) with which I'm
pretty pleased. Contents are:
Symphony in C (LSO/Colin Davis - 1965)
Symphony in Three Movements (LSO/Colin Davis - 1964)
Symphonies for Wind Instruments (Netherlands Wind Ensemble/de Waart - 1974)
Violin Concerto in D (Grumiaux/Concertgebouw/Bour - 1967)
Ebony Concerto (George Pieterson/Netherlands Wind Ensemble/de Waart - 1974)
Symphony of Psalms (Russian State Academy Chorus and Orchestra/Markevitch
- 1974)
Sonics a little duff in a couple of places, but altogether a good intro to
Stravinsky's symphonic oeuvre.
