CD Reviews

Great performances (no skips on disc 6)

N. Machen | Burnsville, MN | 05/07/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Michael Richman noted in his review that he had problems with disc 6. I purchased this set in February, 2008 and had no skips on disc 6 - or on any other disc.

The sound quality overall is very good given the wide range of recording dates. Only on the 1955 recordings (Bach Concertos 1 & 2) is there any type of issue - there is some scratchiness in those two pieces.

The performances are excellent. Highly recommended."

Historic, and sometimes great

Yachtman | 01/29/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a mixed batch of recordings, from the mono Bach concertos from the 50's to his last Tchaikovsky concerto. I bought this mainly because it is the only way I could find to get the Handel Sonatas. And they are absolutely fantastic. It was worth the price to get those to replace my old LP. Of the other recordings (except the Bach), I'll only say that you get the famous Grumiaux sound and a lot of music for the price."
