A couple more from the RCA Red Seal Collections are Wagner's Ring from Dresden under Janowski, recorded digitally in 1982-3 (including a young and unmannered Jessye Norman as Sieglinde), and a boxed set of Mozart piano sonatas with deLarrocha; it also appears some of the Gunther Wand performances of Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Bruckner & Schubert may be repackaged for future release in this series. From what I've seen and heard so far, these are impressive packages, complete, consistent in performance quality, and sounding good--in some cases, better than the originals. The Ring contains a 92-page booklet of multilingual notes and summaries, but lacks a libretto. Interesting, too, about the origins of some of these recordings; I believe the Masur Bruckner cycle comes from VEB sessions for Eurodisc--not RCA. And, in my opinion, this budget Previn Vaughn-Williams cycle leapfrogs RCA's later full-price set by Slatkin and the Philharmonia. But, then, I always thought that the LSO Vaughn Williams and Shostakovich sessions caught Previn at his best. Bear in mind that the Davis/LSO Sibelius set is less than 10 years old, and, at the Collections price, represents a solid value (as does the Ring at $5 a CD). You might want to consider some of these boxes if you have some post-Christmas funds to spend. Dick Claeys
