I've heard or downloaded most of this set. The Walton 1 has never been surpassed, IMO. The Shostakovich 5 is a topnotch performance that easily betters Previn's later CSO recording. The RVW symphonies are as good as or better than many later recordings (the spoken introductions are banded separately from the music and can easily be skipped on CD, or you can rip the music tracks only onto a CD-R).
The Beethoven concertos with Ax were a pleasant surprise, especially the Fourth.
Years ago, a friend who was a French horn player told me that I HAD to hear the last movement of Beethoven 7 with Previn/RPO, and she played me the LP. My jaw dropped. Those horn players just KICK IT more than on any other recording I know, including Honeck's with those Pgh superstars; Kleiber's VPO players have beautiful sound, but they are almost polite. Now, the rest of the Previn performance is fine, except that the first movement is a little draggy; but that coda at the end--wow!
[Note: this is NOT the same performance as the Previn/RPO Japanese video on YouTube, and it is not the same performance as the boring Previn/LSO version now on Warner Classic]
