 Rating:  - Fantastic collectionThis collection is as the name of the company says, "Brilliant". The recordings are flawless and classic. If you like classical music and enjoy even a few of Beethoven's pieces, this is a must-have purchase. Rating:  - Spend a few months reliving the career of Ludwig van BeethovenFirst off, you may be familiar with Brilliant's universally acclaimed Bach and Mozart Editions, which emphasize historically informed performances, often on period instruments, and consist mainly of recent recordings by obscure musicians (mostly based in the Netherlands), contracted directly by Brilliant Classics.

This is compact in packaging and a great gift for people in apartments or students who are learning about the essential classical music created in our world. They did a good job and you will benefit from having this collection. This helped me get a complete understanding of all of Ludwig's work. ... Read More Rating: - Excellent.Complete, compact (less than a foot long and half a foot wide), with outstanding performers including the Gewandhaus Orchestra of Leipzig with Kurt Masur in command. When they say complete, here, they mean it; there is some material in here I'm sure very few have even heard of. Quite a find... |
