Some great recordings here, though a few are are not to my taste. I see no reason not to seek out the CD transfers (I think all of these made it to CD, except maybe the obscure Wilson Audiophile recording?) Many of the classic Mercury recordings have been collected together in cheap CD box sets. I think most of the Lyrita catalog made it to CD, and many of those recordings were made by Ken Wilkinson. Some of the best sounding stereo recordings ever made. Assuming a work, performance or recording is bad just because TAS recommends it is pretty silly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daverz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105731
