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

Rushton,

I completely concur with your assessments of those 33rpm issues, both good and bad. Thank you for the good news about the 45's, even if it means my budget is in for bad news.

Once again I'm inspired to say, "I hate this place"!

How about 'Ry Cooder - Buena Vista Social Club' (ANON 79478-45) ?
I absolutely love this LP. One has to like cuban music of course.

Doug and 4yanx, thanks for your comments; knowing that some people appreciate the input makes the posting worthwhile! And, Doug, its good to know we are hearing the same things.

Styx, thanks for adding. My focus in this thread has been on the CLASSICAL music reissues because Classic's 33 rpm classical reissues have been so variable. Generally, they've been more consistently successful on their non-classical reissues.
