Currently listening to the Berlioz. Nice, but quite grainy. Definitely worth listening to. Isn't the Daphnis and Chloe excerpt also available as a RCA Living Stereo SACD?
Follow Ups:
The Daphnis is from the 1961 recording, RCA's recent SACD and all other releases have been the 1955 recording the latter is a great recording probably one of the most famous in the classical catalog, but there is a lot of people out there that believe the interpretation of the 1961 version is better.
The Berlioz to me is a great performance you can read Gary Lemco's review of it at Audiophile Audition, it is from a now long gone label Command Classics, they were a little weird with there miking but there dynamics are incredible.
The other exceprt is The Historic' du Soldat which is a incredible recording it's very lifelike, and finally the Saint Saens Sym. 3 excerpt is when the organ arrives in the Symphony with some beautiful string tone in the background anybody familiar with the piece will know which part I'm talking about.
The main goal of HDTT is to bring these rare recordings back, and bring them back in a way the audiophile will enjoy them, also you can ask me more questions if you would like at my new forum audiosymposium.net you will also find the forums of Pure Note Cables, Symposium Acoustics, and Emotive Audio there also.
Thanks

I've listened to all four of them, and the Berlioz and Saint Saëns are particularly good.Do you do any processing, or are they straight transfers? They sound like straight transfers to me, which is good since I find most remasters tend to overly sweeten the sound.
Straight transfers, have tried a lot of different techniques always come back to the purist method "less is more"
