Glowingly endorsed!  I've waited years for this set to be reissued and
it sounds wonderful.  I've written to the legendary Wilma Cozart Fine for
some info about other mono rereleases, eg The Sleeping Beauty, Hovhaness's
Prelude and Quadruple Fugue, Dorati's version of Respighi's Church Windows.
If she has time between remastering sessions, I might get a reply.  I'll
pass it on if I do.
