These are among the ones I had never heard (or forgotten I heard) so first out of the box.
Great sound and each disc has the original cover reproduced on the sleeve. Nice, informative booklet.
I LOVE box sets but I am trying to resist..........

Wonderful works, particular the Sonata for unaccompanied cello, Op. 8.
Starker owned the Sonata.. there is (at least was) a YouTube video of him playing it in Tokyo. Made it look easy.

Sir John Pritchard toured Mexico in the 1970´s with the LSO, maybe they took him to El Salón México, a popular dance salon that no longer exists.

I have 3 or 4 works conducted by John Pritchard and I must say that I have enjoyed every one of them.

His symphony No. 3 would be held in reasonably high regard Seán with very good reason and I am sure that you would enjoy it. He is probably most known for his Harp Concerto which is also not in your collection obviously LOL!!
