‘Lucky’ works on record

VW 4.5 and 6 was suggested many years ago by Michael Kennedy but Andrew Manze's Prom about ten years ago was the first time I heard them done together. In my old tape recording days I had the fifth starting a few sconds after the end of the fourth and that was quite nice!
I'm very much against 'tampering' with works in the way mentioned (inserting folk-songs ,etc.).There was a pianist recently who seemed offended when he was criticised for insertin his own improvisations into Chopin. The worst example recently was the bowdlerised version of Henry Wood's Sea Songs fantasia at the Proms. I think the only thing that's stopped them from doing this sort of thing on Radio 3 is that they so rarely play more than one movement of any work!

Or program (sic) the player to play only the tracks corresponding to S3?

Sibelius symphonies, especially the 2nd and 5th, Vaughan Williams symphonies, especially the 2nd, 5th and 6th, and both Elgar symphonies.
I must revisit Boults last EMI recording, having much respected his Lyrita version.

But surely not Vernon Handley/LPO........why, it doesn't even lack the organ (beautifully caught by engineer Mike Clements) which many/most others do!
