Several people have recommended Bernstein/LAPO performance of Barber's Adagio for Strings on DG. The label number they all give is 413324 and say the disc also includes some Gershwin and Copland.

I've found 2 discs at Amazon that come close, but neither are the right label number. Can anyone tell me which of these discs is the better Adagio performance?

DG-27806 includes Adagio for Strings, Rhapsody in Blue, On the Town, Candide Overture, West Side Story: America and Symphonic Dances.

DG-31048 includes Adagio for Strings, Rhapsody in Blue, and Appalachian Spring.

The first disc is less expensive and seems to have more pieces on it.

Thanks in advance for help on this.
