 Rating:  - Todo Beethoven!Compré este producto en noviembre 23 de 2007 y me deleité escuchando estos 84 CD's. La calidad de las grabaciones es muy buena. Como tarjeta de presentación basta mencionar los nombres de Arthur Grumiaux y Kurt Masur. Esta colección permite acceder a toda la obra de Beethoven y por un precio razonable. Rating: - Fantastic collectionThis collection is as the name of the company says, "Brilliant". The recordings are flawless and classic. If you like classical music and enjoy even a few of Beethoven's pieces, this is a must-have purchase. Rating:  - Spend a few months reliving the career of Ludwig van BeethovenFirst off, you may be familiar with Brilliant's universally acclaimed Bach and Mozart Editions, which emphasize historically informed performances, often on period instruments, and consist mainly of recent recordings by obscure musicians (mostly based in the Netherlands), contracted directly by Brilliant Classics. The Beethoven Edition set is quite different. These are entirely "modern" performances on modern instruments using the standard playing techniques of the post-World War Two period. Most of these recordings were made in the 1950s through early 1990s for other CD labels, and were licensed by Brilliant for this set. There are only a handful of original recordings, and these mainly serve to fill in gaps in the lesser known parts of Beethoven's ...

A sampling of a number of different works (symphonies, string quartets, concedrtos, piano sonatas...)reveal first rate performances in all cases I have sampled. The recording is also great. So, really no downside to this set at the price offered. I use this as an opportunity to listen to lesser known works, and to compare the great ones with other recordings I have. I suppose I should not be surprised to find that there are Beethoven works out there that I do not care for at all (Examples: Various folk and national songs). But the time honored great works are there as well as all the other. A Beethoven lover should not miss this chance. Rating: - Great price for every note written by BeethovenI have the complete sets for Mozart and Bach too. Overall they pick pretty good versions of each piece, but at this price, you can use it as reference to fill out with specific artist, later. This is compact in packaging and a great gift for people in apartments or students who are learning about the essential classical music created in our world. They did a good job and you will benefit from having this collection. This helped me get a complete understanding of all of Ludwig's work. Great place to start and listen over your lifetime. Enjoy. |
