This is a really attractive collection. Among the many gems, Suter's VC stands out for me.

I checked it out on streaming service. All of the works in this compilation have actually been made available single (whole work) by single since 2020. This is a rather interesting development in publishing classical recordings.

Quite so. This'll be a fine way to collect them all.
