[78-L] Concert Hall series

[David Lennick]

I was at a collector's house this evening and noticed a Concert Hall album on 
one shelf, so naturally I checked the number. It was another copy of the 
Richard Dyer-Bennet Beethoven set, A-9. The number? 80! So maybe some of these 
limited edition numbers are genuine after all. But the signature still looked 
printed or stamped.

I found a copy of Ray Lev playing Brahms Sonata in C, it is number 725 of 2000.  Looking further through my shelves, I found a copy of Ray Lev playing Schubert's Sonata in C and, to my amazement, found that this is also number 725 of 2000.  My curiosity piqued, I searched for some more albums and found William Schuman's Symphony for Strings conducted by Edgar Schenkman, (Peter's father if anyone knows Peter Schenkman), and it was number 1215 of 2000.  Looking further, I found one more album from this series - Barber's Capricorn concerto and, well Land a Goshen it was also number 1215 of 2000.  I think the mathematical odds of this consistency are rather extreme.
