I have not seen it myself, but I have been told that the French box set does include the complete symphonies (27 in all) plus orchestral poems, sinfoniettas, etc. I think that it does NOT include the violin concerto or the cello concerto. This box set is just the same content that is included in the box sets available from Moscow on Ebay. They are also the same recordings that were included in the Olympia series, which was never completed. To my knowledge, the recordings have not been remastered .
Mats, I agree with you. The recording of the cello concerto by Natalia Gutman with Svetlanov conducting is the best overall performance of this beautiful concerto. It is unfortunate that she never toured in the West. She is relatively unknown outside Russia. But all of the recordings I have heard by her are very good. She is an excellent cellist.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
