I picked up a bunch of these Vanguard Classics titles years ago in a Borders sale bin, and have never regretted my buying decision. They are all solid late mono and early stereo recordings of the standard repertoire, sometimes by famous conductors like Adrian Boult and Pierre Monteux, but more often by lesser-known maestros like Vladimir Golschmann and Felix Prohaska. Here we have the latter two leading the Vienna State Opera Orchestra in some of Mendelssohn's most magnificent works -- the "Italian" and "Reformation" Symphonies (4 & 5), excerpts from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and a really strong Violin Concerto with Mischa Elman. If you find this two-fer as inexpensively as I did, it would make a great reference recording for the connoisseur collector.
