"Hei, I purchased this CD thinking that the full Water Music Suit was enclosed. But only a few excerpts. How sad. I have a old LP with the complete Water Music, cond. Pierre Boulez, wich is superb. Better, I know only the magnific performance by the Collegium Aureum. Don't recomend it. Try to scavenge the Collegium Aureum version (BASF label). Good luck !"
Go for a modern recording

"Not only is this an excerpt (as the previous author noted), but most annoyingly, it's not remastered from the original. The performance (Boulez, NY Phil) is great, but this is a classical release from the 'early days' of CDs, and the AAD can be clearly heard. I love CDs of older recordings, but they should get at least some remastering."
