I have that cover too, Jared. Any idea what the significance of the Theta symbol is? It seems to have equal prominence with the Sony logo, but there's no explanation and I don't think I've seen it anywhere else.

yes, it was part of a reissue series which Sony did a few years ago, of classic recordings from the Sony/ CBS stable, in a similar way to Decca's 'Legendary Perfomances'. I also have Yo Yo Ma's Cello Suites from the same series..

My pleasure Sean... I'm all for others expanding their collections; it doesn't make me feel quite so bad about my own.. ;-)
