boxes "pre-opened"
15 Oct 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Warning! When I received my copy of this (from Amazon), the boxes (both of them) had already been opened by someone
else and the plastic wrap on the product sliced open. A limited number of these boxed sets are autographed; perhaps
someone at Amazon was/is looking for the autographed copies?

Incredible journey through a musical career
5 Feb 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
You Tube comparisons of ASM to other violinists of our time show she is one of the greatest violinists of the 20th+ century and of all time. The recordings are pristine. I actually like the packaging. Quirky Euro styling, but it looks good on my office shelf. I had no issues with the box set I got from Amazon. The book also is a great compendium of stories tracing her development. I haven't yet figured out how to upload the music to my Amazon Cloud or to my iPhone, and the discs may be protected to prevent this. I saw ASM in her NYC debut at age 16, where she played Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, after which the house erupted in a thunderous standing ovation. This set rounds out a much more complete picture of her. It is crammed with music and entirely transfixing. DG and ASM merit our deep thanks for packaging such an innovative and complete product.

Great Collection of DG Recordings by ASM!
28 Dec 2011
Format:Audio CD
Musically, this is a treasure trove. But, I'm biased as ASM is my favorite living violinist. It's great to have all these CDs in one place, however, and I've always liked the single sleeve "mini-LP" concept. The book is wonderful, too. Many great photos and a lot of good content including interviews with Ms. Mutter. The plastic box, however, is ridiculous. Just very poorly designed from a practical standpoint. I had to send back the first one since it was completely broken to pieces and the second one is far from perfect. When she appeared on David Letterman's TV show, he called it "a hamster habitat." Pretty good description. Someone must have felt it looked modern and sleek and I guess it does if you're lucky to have one shipped to you intact. A minor complaint, however, considering the plethora of great music and recordings contained therein. I consider this to be the boxset of the year for me. Listening to these albums in chronological order is endlessly fascinating and enormously rewarding. Love ASM!
