I just saw this appear on the Presto Classical site for release next week:
https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/8860595--alexander-brailowsky-plays-chopin
Are these the stereo Columbia solo recordings that were earlier issued in a Japanese Sony set, or just excerpts from the 2018 "Brailowsky plays Chopin" box of mainly mono RCA recordings? The new box doesn't have the "RCA Red Seal" logo on the cover, which suggests the former. (And if you're going to reissue nearly all of Brailowsky's stereo Columbias, why not include the concertos with Ormandy and make it really complete?)
