These are very fine performances, and if you want just one collection of the composer’s major orchestral works then by all means, grab this set. If you have even a shred of interest you probably already have one or more of the discs—perhaps the Second or, most likely, the Third symphony, but the ballet music and the shorter works are unfailingly attractive, even if they are also unfailingly unadventurous. For the curious, this is self-recommending.
