Classic Record RCA 45 rpm reissues - Which?

Can anyone recommend any of the 45 rpm classical reissues of RCAs from Classic Records? What I've heard is a mixed bag, but the 45 rpm reissue of the Mercury Firebird clearly demonstrates that Classic Records can get it right.

Comments appreciated on the following 45 rpm reissues:
LSC-2341-45 Saint-Saens Symphony 3 (Organ), Munch
LSC-2322-45 Shostakovich Age of Gold Ballet Suite, Martinon
LSC-2150-45 Prokofiev Lt. Kije, Reiner
LSC-2767-45 Rozsa Violin Concerto, Hendl/Heifetz
LSC-1900-45 Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique, Munch

In my humble opinion Classic Records and their 200gram recipe for record pressings is the current best in the business. You can do no wrong with any of the above. Keep in mind that they are HUMAN, therefore defects are possible, although rare. I purchase as much of the Classic Records as my budget allows because they may not be around forever.

Rushton,
No, not the posted vinyl in question....but I have at least 35 Classic 200g versions, one in 45, and they all are splendid! Buy them!! You won't be disappointed!
