Free Music Notes for The Complete EMI Recordings 1946-1984, Vol. 1: Orchestral [Box Set] Album

Free Music Review: Wonderful Issue
Hit: 5 Stars

Although it will take me weeks to finish listening to this set, I am very glad that EMI issued this set at such a low price. Many of these recordings are legendary, others are von Karajan's first recordings of symphonies that he would record again and again. While I have his complete Bruckner, Beethoven and Brahms on DG, in is interesting to hear his earlier thoughts--and they are often splendid.
I am not bothered by the mono recordings; they were produced by Walter Legge and are warmer than many a digital recording that I have purchased. Legge was initially opposed to stereo and lavished they same detail on his mono productions as on his later, stereo recordings.
What I have enjoyed most so far are some of the discs which were unavailable in the US, and some of the discs that I may not have considered had they been full price. But at $1.50 a disc, this set allows me to explore discs that I would not normally acquire. Given the overall quality of the conducting, recordings and the Philharmonia Orchestra, it is the CD bargain of the decade.
