Classic Record RCA 45 rpm reissues - Which?

Can anyone recommend any of the 45 rpm classical reissues of RCAs from Classic Records? What I've heard is a mixed bag, but the 45 rpm reissue of the Mercury Firebird clearly demonstrates that Classic Records can get it right.

Comments appreciated on the following 45 rpm reissues:
LSC-2341-45 Saint-Saens Symphony 3 (Organ), Munch
LSC-2322-45 Shostakovich Age of Gold Ballet Suite, Martinon
LSC-2150-45 Prokofiev Lt. Kije, Reiner
LSC-2767-45 Rozsa Violin Concerto, Hendl/Heifetz
LSC-1900-45 Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique, Munch

Sorry, copied and pasted the same title twice (yes it's a multi disc set, but was still an error :^).

here is the second 45 issue I own:

LSC-1900-45 Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique, Munch

Rush, I have these two, the LSC-2150-45 Prokofiev Lt. Kije, Reiner and LSC-2150-45 Prokofiev Lt. Kije, Reiner and both are excellent.

The short answer here is to buy the performance and the music that you most favor. Every 45 RPM from Classic is splendid ! I have one entire shelf of these reissues representing both Jazz and Classical artists.
