Great Music, Bad Box
A. Roth | Baltimore, MD | 09/11/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I actually ordered this item from Amazon.de, where it was half the price, even with shipping.



The good news about this product is that it is a great collection. It may not be the complete Mendelssohn, but it is darn close, and it has everything that I would want. That includes the complete symphonies, string symphonies, concertos (including rare ones), chamber music, lieder ohne worte, Paulus, Elijah and more.



I have two complaints, and they are both serious. The first is that there is no text/librettos disc in the set. Brilliant includes that in the "Edition" sets and I think it is very valuable. I like liner notes, and especially for Mendelssohn, about whom less is written than Mozart or Beethoven, notes for the included pieces is a necessary addition.



The second problem is a box engineering problem. The discs in the box are lying flat, so that you cannot thumb through them to get to the disc you want. And, if you rotate the discs to a position where they can be thumbed through, the box will not close. I am conflicted over what to do about this. I may just move the discs to a binder and forget it. This is just stupid on Brilliant's part, since what I love about the boxes is the ease of finding what I am looking for quickly.



So, for what its worth, the music is great, the display not so much."
