Annotation

The set was originally released with CD 2 featuring Ormandy's 1967 recording of Grofé’s Grand Canyon Suite, rather than the 1957 version, as detailed in the track list. Also, track 2 on the originally released CD 23 ended prematurely. Sony provided replacement discs on request.

To identify the incorrect disc 2, its disc ID is pepA6f_d0xPf2no5ROLBTlx1uFM-, with the following timings:

  1. 5:15
  2. 5:33
