The Philadelphia Orchestra - The Centennial Collection - 12CDs!

Long out of print, the Centennial Collection is an incredible collection of recordings by one of the world's great orchestras. Hard to find, this collection is a sampling of some of the greatest concert recordings available. 12 CDs. CD jewel cases, CDs and notes are pristine. Box has some shelf wear, and a slight corner split on the lid. Overall, you won't find another set in such great condition.
