This set is the ultimate Beethoven bargain.
With David zinman’s symphonies, overtures and concertos included there is the chance to hear one of the more intriguing versions of these works with generally fast tempos and occasional wind variants. Then zukerman in the violin sonatas and Bylsma in the cello works, q chance to compare a great traditional performer and a historically informer performer who has a good reputation. Maybe a single pianist in the sonatas might have been welcomed but that would have meant forgoing Rosen, casadesus and Horowitz amongst others. And with Fidelio, the masses and even a selection of British songs there is little of value omitted. Okay, the box is three times as big as necessary but it’s the contents which matter, not the wrapping.
Certainly this set deserves consideration against the mainly analogue Emi set despite that including cluytens, gilels and oistrakh amongst others, and the Brilliant set with blomstedt, grumiaux, and the early brendel sonatas. And if price is taken into account there can only be one winner.

The labels is Sony, RCA and Arte Nova and the recordtings are ADD and DDD. It also comes with a cd rom containing the text and liberaci. Much has been written about the packaging by other reviewers. I think the packaging is adequate and has not deviated from all recent complete works releases by Brilliant Classics and other notable labels .The cds are housed in cardboard sleeves and all are contained in a hardy cardboard box. I have almost all the complete works release of various composers by brilliant classic and the cardboard boxes have lasted several years, not been damage and above all it made it possible to acquire such wonderful recordings . I am sure if they were housed in the regular cd plastics the cost would have been higher and the environment poorer.
