listening to my treasured reiner's brahms symphony number 4 from the reader's digest treasury of great music this morning, charles gerhardt came to mind.

Charles Gerhardt's Classic Film Scores series for RCA was a major accomplishment. He was ahead of the curve in terms of giving the great film composers the attention they deserve. The series is a textbook example of how to present film music on its own terms, away from the images. Gorgeous recordings, too.

Dozens of excellent mainstream classical lps made for Readers Digest. I must have about 40.

That Reiner Brahms 4 is the stuff it doesn't get much better than.
