The World of the Symphony: The Greatest Masterpieces of All Time

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

The discs have individual catalog numbers, from 15 821 through 15 830. They also have individual UPC codes, in the form of 0 1811-(catalog number)-2 (check digit).

There's another release by Laserlight Digital -- same cat#s, same barcodes -- but different box (and CD?) cover art. (I suspect, judging by the 80s looks, that this one here is a reissue, i.e. not the one from 1989.
