I have a tape taken from the old LP issue (not sure if all 19 were present).

Allowances have to be made for the sound, but there are some fine, fine
performances here.  Especially (if it's includede) Solomon's extraordinary
1930(2?) 13 (14? the Rakoczy one, anyway).

You should also hear Cziffra, especialy his 1950s recordings. Fabulous.
