Absolutely Amazing!

"I have a lot of recordings of these works (Harnoncourt, Bruggen, Davis, Beecham, Karajan, Solti, Bernstein, Jochum, Norrington, Fey, Shelley, Fischer) and this new Marc Minkowski edition is easily my favorite, by far my favorite, the standard by which I will henceforth judge all others. I received the box set via mail last week, and I honestly just can't stop listening to them over and over again, again and again -- at work, on the subway, late night, before the gym, at the gym, I even added some of them to my Blackberry -- they're really fantastically incredible. There's so much intimacy, so much ferocious vivacious fire vigour zest zeal passion beauty, so much attention to detail, they're honestly living breathing creatures that have renewed my eternal perpetual love for Papa Haydn. I sincerely wish I were at these (recorded live) performances!"
