Good news, of course.  I've not heard the Munch performance you refer to, but will accept by faith it's the "powerful work" you suggest.  OTOH, I did play through (several times each) the downloads of Symphonies 7, 9, & 10 when they appeared on the UC forum some years ago and was decidedly underwhelmed.  It put in my head that perhaps the later Diamond suffered a noticeable falling off from his earlier powers, and that realizing this Delos deliberately limited their recordings to the earlier and more meritorious Symphonies.  Just speculation on my part,  but sometimes though we would like to hear everything by a composer and make our own judgments, those who make such decisions aren't acting arbitrarily but rather have considered the quality of the scores and found them unworthy of the labor and expense necessary for commercial exposure.  Not saying that was necessarily the case with Delos's truncated Diamond cycle, - but it's not implausible.
