Living Stereo box set!!!!! Bought it, then realized I already have all albums as SACDs, presented the bix to my daughter-in-law. Should I say more?... I grab ALL box sets coming out, but my second advice re the content would be Philips box, it is standing open next to my CDS3, so you may say its in "constant rotation". Mercury Living Presence, esp box 2 is for expanding our horizons.Sergio Celibidache box sets are something I will pack first running out from a burning house. Furtwangler's HUGE box I don't have to pack, its already in my car. Being mono it sounds awesome thru car stereo, just buy it and enjoy commuting! ;-)
Classical CD Box Sets
So I've just discovered Deutche Grammophone's Legendary Recordings, as well as a boxed set of them at Amazon, then I discovered Decca.
For around $100 what are some of the best classical sets you'd recommend?
I like classical, but my education extends only to one semester of it's history and meta-structure.
Should I try getting one of these sets, or should I look at something like "1,000 Albums to listen to before you die" as a guide?
Best,
Erik
