I have tried their Beethoven Piano pieces and I enjoy them a great deal and play them quite frequently. I find they are great background music to work to. The recording are good, though I'm not sure though that I would enthuse about the tone of the piano they used, but since it was a specially outfitted one that could play back prepared recordings and they coudn't reposition it for the recording, I wouldn't hold this against them. I also find them quite useful in judging system components since there is quite a bit of variation in the content of the recordings but they were recorded over a period of about two days so they are very consistent internally. OTOH, they are useful to me because I know what they should sound like because I listen to them frequently, your milage may vary.
