Using the NAXOS website, I've determined the Orchestra that performed each Symphony. The artist in the tag is actually the conductor.

Symphony no. 1 in D Major (Titan): Gustav Mahler - Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra - Michael Halasz
Symphony no. 5 in e minor, op 64: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra - Antoni Wit
Symphony no. 6 in D Major op. 60: Antonin Dvorak - Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra - Stephen Gunzenhauser
Symphony no. 3 in a minor (unfinished): Alexander Porfir'yevich Borodin - Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra - Stephen Gunzenhauser
Symphony no. 3 in c minor "Organ": Camille Saint-Saens - Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra - Imrich Szabo
Symphony no. 9 in d minor WAB 109: Anton Bruckner - Royal Scottish National Orchestra - Georg Tintner

Stereo Sound. All perfectly good performances from the Naxos Label. These are not merely samples from the works, they are complete performances of them. As they say free is good! These performances are good too!
Now how about a Volume 2??

Regarding the missing composers: The composer of each work is clearly recorded in the "Composer" ID3 tag, just where it belongs. Amazon is tagging them correctly, though with classical that can be a little confusing.

Love this music!
Also there is a very easy way to view the composer of each piece - and other information. Open the music in I-Tunes, then hit Ctrl-J. This brings up a box where you can check what information you want displayed in I-Tunes. Just check the 'Composer' box -- and there are the composers listed in your I-Tunes.
Fine performances of major works - what's not to love? July 28, 2010

This collection consists of a set of fine performances of major orchestral works that debuted (if the title is to be trusted) in the 1880s. The 1880s fall in the late Romantic period, which means that these pieces are generally quite close to the mental picture most Americans have of classical music. The included pieces are complex and interesting enough for close listening, but also sufficiently well-behaved (no 20th Century atonality here!) to play in the background. I don't see how any classical music fan could be displeased with this collection.
