Sound quality: fairly good

Recording dates: 1977 (tracks 1-6), 1969 (tracks 7 & 8); CD issue: 1994

The first set of accompanists listed (above) perform on tracks 1-6, while the second set perform on tracks 7 & 8.

There are some interesting items here, but like so many of these reissues, the inspiration is uneven and the combined program is not very coherent.
