"This exact set is available in another format for nearly three times as much, and I believe they are the same transfers. So this is the one to purchase. Many of the performances are worth the Set price by themselves. Number 48 is a great symphony for cheering up a blowsy day or attitude, and the others contain tremendous passions - literally in one case - normally not expected when listeners think of Haydn. The sound of the original LPs has been transferred reasonably well, with a degree of fidelity far more acceptable than many modern original instrument performances.

For this price you will have several of the most glorious symphonies of the entire repetoire, and again, 48 is the crowning glory, if I may be allowed a small pun."
