That series had some excellent releases. Was the Kempe Beethoven Symphony set part of that series? If so, that may be the content that seals the deal for me.

I know Vernon Handley's Vaughan Williams was part of the series, but I already have those recordings.

I think that Mackerras' first set of Beethoven symphonies was on
Eminence. Quite good, as I recall.

If this is a collection of recordings that were issued originally on CD, Kempe's
Beethoven cannot be part of it - that was originally issued on LP.

Product Description
In the days when new recordings were full price and collectors on a
budget had to confine themselves to reissues, EMI s Eminence label was
a bold and appealing venture. Eminence launched careers: most notably
Nigel Kennedy s, with his Gramophone Record of the Year-winning disc
of Elgar s Violin Concerto, but it also nurtured many other great
musicians near the start of what would prove to be illustrious careers
(such as Tasmin Little and Franz Welser-Möst) and captured others in
their prime, such as Vernon Handley and Sir Charles Mackerras. With
brand new recordings of a range of rare and classic repertoire, and
captured with uncompromisingly good engineering, Eminence blazed a
trail that many other labels followed. Here are many of the label s
finest recordings, united for the first time, and at a price that
stays true to its founding philosophy of making great music available
to the widest possible audience.
