Any opinions on this set?

I'm looking at a first Schubert cycle (I have a few singletons including Beecham, and too many Ninths)...
Immerseel is tempting me on the HIP side, while elsewhere it seems my best options are Blomstedt, Abbado, Harnoncourt and... Riccardo Muti?
Thanks!

I've had various sets and singles. It's VPO/Muti that's stayed to this day. With a firm hand, Godfather keeps the music going in straightforward manner.

I think I would've enjoyed a cycle from Cantelli.

Maybe worth considering Sir Colin Davis with the Dresden Staatskapelle on 4 discs on RCA?

I wouldn't want to be without it, Schubert "Italian" style:tiphat:

The Davis is the first set I went with, it's juicy.
