A Decca Classics release.
Initial Release Errors
Corrected: Disc 20, Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem Op. 45, is defective: in the last minute, the sound stutters.
Debussy's La Mer, tracks 1 to 3 on disc 37, is not the 1964 recording but is the 1957 recording correctly identified as such on disc 40, tracks 1 to 3.
Replacements for these two discs could be obtained by emailing info@deutschegrammophon.com (not Decca) and are correct on later releases.
Corrected discs can be identified by the addition of a V2 notation on the inner rim of the reflecting side of the CD.
Not corrected: The disc 56 sleeve back lists track 14, Mussorgsky's Gopak from Sorochintsy Fair (orchestrated by Lyadov), as a world-premiere stereo release. However, the recording is the mono recording. The world-premiere stereo release was released in The Mono Years, added to disc 7 as track 13 (track 12 is in mono).
The spine of disc 81 reads CD 81 WAGNER/LISZT, WAGNER/KOCSIS Transcriptions from operas. It should read CD 81 STRAVINSKY Symphony of Psalms, Les Noces, Mavra OSR. WAGNER/LISZT, WAGNER/KOCSIS Transcriptions from operas is disc 12 of Complete Philips Recordings.
On the back of the wallet for CDs 39 & 40, a phantom credit is printed for a 1954 recording of Paul Dukas works L'Apprenti sorcier (and La Péri) with the Paris Conservatoire. L'Apprenti sorcier was first released in 2018 on Orchestral Works, but it is not in this box set.

A Decca Classics release.
Initial Release Errors
Corrected: Disc 20, Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem Op. 45, is defective: in the last minute, the sound stutters.
Debussy's La Mer, tracks 1 to 3 on disc 37, is not the 1964 recording but is the 1957 recording correctly identified as such on disc 40, tracks 1 to 3.
Replacements for these two discs could be obtained by emailing info@deutschegrammophon.com (not Decca) and are correct on later releases.
Corrected discs can be identified by the addition of a V2 notation on the inner rim of the reflecting side of the CD.
Not corrected: The disc 56 sleeve back lists track 14, Mussorgsky's Gopak from Sorochintsy Fair (orchestrated by Lyadov), as a world-premiere stereo release. However, the recording is the mono recording. The world-premiere stereo release was released in The Mono Years, added to disc 7 as track 13 (track 12 is in mono).
The spine of disc 81 reads CD 81 WAGNER/LISZT, WAGNER/KOCSIS Transcriptions from operas. It should read CD 81 STRAVINSKY Symphony of Psalms, Les Noces, Mavra OSR. WAGNER/LISZT, WAGNER/KOCSIS Transcriptions from operas is disc 12 of Complete Philips Recordings.
On the back of the wallet for CDs 39 & 40, a phantom credit is printed for a 1954 recording of Paul Dukas works L'Apprenti sorcier (and La Péri) with the Paris Conservatoire. L'Apprenti sorcier was first released in 2018 on Orchestral Works, but it is not in this box set.
