A quick review of this new set. I think it's an excellent buy at 35 us dollars.
I find the digital sound to be very good.
Some thought was put into this set as the operas and large works have reasonable splits on the cds.
Troyen is the usual 4 disc set up, each act intact.
The other works are on 2 cds each split at the end of acts.
I'm no Berlioz expert (yet
), but I believe all his major works are here.
16 discs in nicely designed cardboard sleeves with a very fine booklet with notes, synopsis' , track listings, casts and some color photos.
The LSO sounds great and the chorus full and rich sounding.
Some of the singers are somewhat under powered , but ok.
I like that the performances are live. You can feel that.
I'm a Colin Davis fan so I'm very glad to have this.
A great way to get to know Berlioz.
Which I am doing?
Thanks Greg Mitchell :tiphat:
