Brahms: Complete Symphonies, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Riccardo Muti (3 CD): version 1
Saved 2026-09-13 23:10 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the wanted barcode 0028947094227: Philips Classics 470 942-2, *Brahms: Complete Symphonies*, a 3-CD set from 2002 in the Trio 3 CDs series with The Philadelphia Orchestra and Riccardo Muti. The old 2007 page called it "MUTI RICCARDO - 4 SYMPHONIES;TRAGIC OVERTU". **Identity** comes from MusicBrainz release bc49bcfa (barcode 028947094227, 3 CDs, 19 tracks, jewel case). Three Discogs entries confirm it, and each prints this barcode: two European pressings (22501103, 9329848) and the US pressing (22501631). iMusic.dk prints EAN 0028947094227 and gives 3 May 2002. **Relations:** - ℗ holder: Universal International Music B.V. (new company stub, from Discogs label 220303). - US: marketed and manufactured by Universal Classics Group, stored as the existing company/umg-recordings stub. Distributed by Universal Music & Video Distribution. - EU discs: pressed by Universal M & L (the existing stub). - Brand: the existing brand/philips-classics. **New family** brahms-the-four-symphonies-muti-philadelphia-orchestra, with the 1991 Italian edition, the 1992 4-CD box and this set. **Markets:** EU and US (Discogs), DK (iMusic, marked not available, so no price). **Unresolved (in research_gaps):** - The ℗ years disagree between the US club edition and the 1991 Italian edition. - Discogs' European tracklist mislabels track 2-5. - The release date is only a year in MusicBrainz. - No source names the GS1 prefix licensee, so no gs1_prefix_owner edge. - Amazon and Presto could not be read. The recording dates (Oct 1988 to Sep 1989) come from the notes of the 1991 Italian edition and are marked that way.. Current is v2.
