"According to an entry with the same name at Amazon.co.uk, this might be a 2-disc set containing Barbirolli and the Hallé Orchestra performing Sibelius symphonies 1 & 5, Brahms symphony 4, and Nielsen symphony 4. These are probably performances from the 1950s."

Come on!

"Who in hell would buy this product from you guys? You don't even state what the works are! When are you going to learn that classical music is not wallpaper? Basic necessary information: 1. composer 2. full name of composition 3. performers (i.e. orchestra, soloist, etc.) 4. conductor. Ideally also, 5. date and place of recording. All you've given us is #4. We don't even know how many works are on these discs. In other words, it's a worthless page the way it stands. And the sad thing is, you've got thousands and thousands more just like it. How do you expect to sell this merchandise? Can you even begin to imagine how frustrating it is for us prospective buyers?"

Worth a Knighthood

"All four of the performances on this set are among the best--possibly the best--that I have heard of these oft-recorded symphonies. They are quite forceful, and bring out many new facets not apparent in other renditions."
