A 120-CD collection of the complete mono-recordings between 1944-1958 by Eugene Ormandy and The Philadelphia Orchestra for Columbia Records. Includes a 120-page hardcover book with complete tracklists and essays.
Note: the set was originally released with the track 103.7 truncated by several seconds (other tracks on CD 103 also had incorrect timings). Warner provided a replacement disc on request, and this disc was used for setting the disc ID and timings for CD 103. To identify the incorrect disc, its disc ID is bJ.7ur6k2NG.J.1eJt3xR4LTpCo- and should not be used for this release. The incorrect track timings are:
- 11:10
- 4:39
- 5:59
