I think it is interesting they seem to have ignored the Michael Tilson Thomas series with the Concertgebouw and Chicago Symphony (4 cds).

That's unfortunate ....

Chuck,

Apparently, the box only focuses on pre-digital recordings.  The last recording in the anthology dates from 1976.

That said, MTT's digital recordings of Ives are SUPERB, so part of me wishes they would have extended the date to included them.

One saving grace.  There is a separate 4-CD box that compiles them:

Arrived today, thankfully undinged. The Import CDs packing box seemed a little skimpy for an item such as this.

Affordable classical box sets such as this are really a public service!

Also, the 1974 Centennial box has a separate CD reissue by Sony:

I got the Centennial Box used several years ago, but sold it in my great collection purge to Da Bastids
