Description: 41 minutes of rare Russian Classical-period orchestral music (if the Kozlovsky Polonaises are orchestrated from piano originals, the piss-poor notes don't tell us and as to recording dates, how's 1974-2005 strike you for precision?), well worth it for the utterly delightful Bortnyansky pieces.
