Having posted to the effect that details *were* available at EMI's site,
I wondered whether I'd dreamt seeing this information.  After checking
several of EMI's multitude of sites (the Australian site knows as much
about CM as I do about good record stores in Albuquerque), I finally ran
them to earth at http://www.emiclassics.com/catalogue/front.html using the
advanced search option.  You won't get any more information than Dave
supplied, other than a shot of the cover and the option of ordering, but
at least we know they're there.

I'm considering the Karel Ancerl set especially for the Krejci which
AFAIK hasn't been available for years and the Macha, which I've never
heard.  Although I know most of the other performances, I've never heard
his Toronto Martinu 5th and would be interested in opinions of it.  I'm
tempted by the Argenta Faust Symphony (Deryk - do you know this?), and the
Malko set which has some favourite performances from the days when the CM
bug first bit me.

The Ormandy set is reviewed at Len Mullenger's Musicweb:
