45 cd's of ballet music would drive me up the wall. OTOH there are some ballets in this box that perhaps have completely left the rep of recorded music.

I am sure as Herman has said a service is being done to the corners of the ballet repertoire - not really for me but it has its market. Am I the only one who thinks it a little odd that DECCA has gone to the trouble of this edition when it has not done the same for his wife's recordings? All we have had for the 10th anniversary of her death is a single disc Eloquence offering. Do we really have to wait for the birth centenary in 2026?
