These London Opera Sets usually come in a black box (with or without artwork)
Unfortunately, by the time this one came into my possession the box, program notes
and libretto were all missing. All I have is the cassettes and the "Jewel cases".

I found this photo of the CD art work on the 'net.

Excellent trip. I can't post what I bought there, because that would be off topic in the classical playlist.
But here is a link to some of them.

Shostakovich-- Symphony no. 11 'The Year 1905'
BBC PO
Vassily Sinaisky

Doesn't matter how many times I listen to this symphony, it still chills.
Ray

Egon Wellesz (1885-1974)
Symphonies 1-9 (Complete)

Radio Symphonieorchester Wien
Gottfried Rabi

Recordings made between 2001-2004
This edition: 2008 CPO
4 disc set
DDD

Listened to Symphony No.4 on the final disc of this set tonight, and like all the others, it did not disappoint in any way. Also like the others, there's an unsettling tone of foreboding and dread throughout the piece. The cover of disc 4 is the same picture on the cover of the cardboard box which holds all the CDs.

Schoenberg & Sibelius
Violin Concertos

Hilary Hahn
Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra
Esa-Pekka Salonen

The Schoenberg Violin Concerto is astounding to me, and I know I've got a long way to go before I can really wrap my head around it, and appreciate it for what it is - to my brain at least.

I'll have to keep an eye open for this then. I've never heard Schoenberg's V.C.
