Actually, the two serenades were issued on two different Decca
Doubles, coupled with the symphonies.  I'm not sure that they were
ever widely available in the USA, and when I went looking for them a
couple of years ago (I had the serenades, but was looking for the
symphonies), they were tough to find at anything approaching a
reasonable price.  I'm glad that Kertesz' Brahms is getting another
reissue, even if I already have these recordings.
