The older 53 Andromeda Boxset clearly states it was remastered, also there was a 53 Golden Melodram boxset........
I suspect newest Pan Classics boxset is just a repackage of older Andromeda remaster like HFTods said, whatever the case it sounds great and is really cheap, win win for us!

Slow tempo must be the reason it spans 16 disks instead of the normal 14.
Beautifully packaged set too (image link).

I'm sure they've been mentioned already, but for sound, singing and conducting, the choices for me are Solti and Karajan.
Facts don't care about your feelings.

Fair enough. Or maybe Pugg wants to sell that dusty copy. No matter, no rush. I have 14 hours of it on CD in German and just nailed a deal on the Levine 7-DVD set for $34 shipped in very good condition to be delivered Dec 28 so I can RING in the new year!
On advice of hpowders I am scoping out the Solti set. I have it ordered from a neighboring city's library to be picked up at my local library. If I really like it over and above my Neuhold set, then I will seek out a used set online.
