Well, you can't blame Naxos for taking advantage of the daft copyright laws to make a buck. And their transfers - usually by experts like Mark Obert-Thorn or Ward Marston, really are quite excellent as a rule. But I wouldn't go past EMI's own if I were you. It's one of their mid-price 'Great Recordings Of The Century' releases, and worth every penny.



Thanks. I saw one EMI version in HMV today but it has different timings to the Naxos one so didn't risk it. I assumed it was a stereo recording. The Beecham box is £35 in HMV, £17 on iTunes and £15 on Amazon and people wonder why they are closing stores. No copy of either the Celibidache Bach B Minor Mass or the second of the Wagner concert records. They did have a Celi Bruckner 9 rehearsal DVD that looked v interesting (the Brahms one is wonderful) but again brutally over priced for an hour long programme.
