I am also interested and have the previous boxes. However I don't have many ( about 2) Cosma outside of the previous boxes. So should be a winner.

But these boxes are tantalizing. If I have all four boxes, am I pretty covered in terms of his output? How much more is there after that? Who cares. You could die happy.

Thanks MD and guys. Thor, I’d say there would be enough stuff left to fill in a 5th box. Regarding the concert pieces, according to the pictures featured on the box, two of them have been included at least: VOLPONE (‘musique de scène et des ballets’) & LES FABLES DE LA FONTAINE. Here are the links toward the existing recordings : https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/1819452-Vladimir-Cosma-Volpone https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/15580654-Vladimir-Cosma-La-Fontaine-Lambert-Wilson-Orchestre-De-La-Suisse-Romande-Fables-De-La-Fontaine VOLPONE is great, featuring recorder, mandolin, crumhorn, choir, etc very much appreciated by the fans of progressive rock and easy listening for instance. In this piece, there’s a tune that was later to become the main theme of the TV series MEDECINS DE NUIT (in a different arrangement). I wish Cosma will once release the full version of his Concerto de Berlin (ca 30’) originally written for LA 7ème CIBLE and performed by Vadim Repin in Lyon a couple of years ago. There are other concert pieces such as Obliques that have never been released. The cantata 1209 mentioned by Lokutus is superb (based upon film themes) but the CD is hard to find.

Slint, you can add to your list OCTAV (2017): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4736486/?ref_=nm_flmg_com_4 As far as I know, it will be paired with another Rumanian movie and possibly with other foreign productions. Cosma indeed scored for instance LAAT DE DOKTER MAAR SCHUIVEN, NITWITS, NIGHTMARE YEARS, as well as various Israeli movies at the beginning of his career. LE COLLECTIONNEUR DE CERVEAUX is also a fantastic addition. I have the movie on DVD and noticed that the score is totally unreleased, save for the theme Floarea soarelui (played on the piano by the main character). This theme must be a favourite of Cosma since it has been featured in several soundtracks, sometimes played by the pan flute, the piano or the strings (LE RETOUR DU GRAND BLOND, P’TIT CON and LE TEMPS DES PORTE-PLUMES). LE COLLECTIONNEUR…has possibly been paired together with LES GRANDS DETECTIVES. At least I hope so.
