Columbia began releasing an ambitious series of album sets in 1925 of complete orchestral and chamber works. The records were primarily derived from masters recorded in England but also from France, Germany, Italy and the US. They were issued in multiple countries where Columbia did business.
The 1925 Columbia catalog introduced these recordings and listed the first 7 sets. The sets would continue for over 20 years until the introduction of the LP after WWII, capturing some of the most important artists of the 20th century. Sets in the US "Masterworks" series are at the link below.
