[ARSCLIST] Orchestras of the World transcriptions



Does anybody have information about a series of 16-inch transcription discs called "Orchestras of the World; Produced by the Economic Cooperation Administration"? Probably from around 1950.

They're fully produced radio programs of performances by European orchestras (BBC Symphony, Vienna Philharmonic, RIAS, Concertgebouw, Suisse Romande, Radio Eireann Symphony, etc etc.) with introductions and "intermission" interviews related to postwar economic development.

Are these things taken from commercial recordings or from domestic live concert or studio broadcasts? Are they documented anywhere?
