Dvorak - Concerto in B Minor by Pablo Casals (Everest)
Who is the conductor and orchestra? His 1937 rendition with Czech Phil and a young George Szell is the standard by which all others are judged.Any of the recordings by Herrmann Scherchen are considered either world class or at least extremely interesting. He is a renowed conducting professor. His Haydn and other ones you cite are good and the Westminster recordings excellent if they are in good shape.
As the other posters stated, the majority of these are mono archival stuff. If you have interests that way, fine. But they sell for peanuts ($1 to 2). I recently acquired about 50 of such records, but the collector had nice David Oistrakh, original English Angel and RCA plum colored shaded dogs (mono) in the bin. I cleaned up some of these mint appearing records, although some are very noisy. I'd love to hear
Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 by Jascha Horenstein (Vox)
Dvorak - Concerto in B Minor by Pablo Casals (Everest)
Mahler - Symphony No. 1 in D Major by Sir Adrian Boult (Everest)
Schubert - Symphony No. 6 in C Major by Hermann Scherchen (Parliament)
Schubert - Symphony No. 9 by Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt (Telefunken)btw, Richmond is mono old Decca/London reissue, the Parliament often is Supraphon Czech, and many of yours are Russian Melodiya sourced records. Everest depends on age of pressing for sound.
