I have almost all of them. Most of the performances are excellent. While
not every composition offered is a "masterpiece," many are. My favorites
include the issues devoted to the chamber music of Foote, Violin Concerti
of Piston; music of Bennett; Symphonies of Creston and sizzling
performances of orchestral music by Barber.
