About the only tracks I don't already have from the complete works themselves are tracks 8 and 10. I would commend the disc to anyone who is curious about the music and quality of sound based on what I know it consists of. The reviewer found much of the music (to paraphrase) non-involving. That was not how it struck me. My advice however is not to buy the sampler, just go out and get all the discs from which the sampler was built. Its wonderful music and good to excellent performances with great sound quality. The Martinu is especially notable. I never cared for the piece 'til now.
