The rumors are that Warner has bought licenses of all Svetlanov's recordings and they are reissuing them now. So far the Myaskovsky set is available only in Europe

The French-speaking people who read my site, does the box above said “complete” Myaskovsky symphony set? Myaskovsky composed 27 symphonies and here we have 16 CDs box set. It might be “it”!!! Happy birthday, David….

This set is now available in the U.S. from Berkshire Record Outlet at the very reasonable price of USD64. This box set f 16 CDs is the same as the original 16-disc set released by Melodiya. It includes all 27 symphonies, plus assorted symphonic poems. It does nt include the violin concerto with Feigen, which is very good, or the cello concerto with Natalia Gutman, which is excellent. Those who read my introduction abve also know that I was not pleased with Svetlanov's treatment of the 6th symphony. However, overall, this is an excellent collection. Some of these compositions are not available in other recordings at all, some are very difficult to find in or must be ordered from Russia. So, this set is a very good buy.
