Too many to count--or remember!  😜 It really is a uniformly great series.  Off the top of my head though--and by no means an exhaustive list--a couple that really stood out for me were Op. 20 and Op. 50.  But really, all are very good and many--most?--are great.

Well, I almost stopped listening to music while this forum was down because, really, what's the point?  😜  But I DID listen to some anyway, including:

Hanson, Symphony No. 1 / "Merry Mount" Suite / "Pan and the Priest" Symphonic Poem / Rhythmic Variations on Two Ancient Hymns

Kenneth Schermerhorn, Nashville Symphony Orchestra (Naxos)

Now listening to:

Schumann, Piano Quintet (arranged for string orchestra by Earl Wild)

Dohnanyi, Piano Quintet No. 1 (arranged for string orchestra by Earl Wild)

Earl Wild (piano), Isaiah Jackson, American String Orchestra (Ivory Classics)

Recorded on September 13th, 2001 .... speaking of understatment, this documents the Münchner Philharmoniker following the pure guidance of Günter Wand, who goes - quite in opposite to their former principal conductor Sergiu Celibidache - for accelerated execution .....
