"Before I played Schumann on the clarinet, all I knew was his piano concerto, heard on CD - it's a really flowing and satisfying piece of music. The Cello concerto is great too."
"and then I heard symphony No.3 live in concert ... I was hooked. This box set of his complete symphonic output is amazing! This music will leave you with a big smile on your face"
"This is an expensive set but it's worth every penny. Abbado's interpretation is amazing. This set includes all the overtures and similar one off orchestral masterpieces."
"Before the Brahms Piano quintet took its final form, it was in 2 pianos format Op.34b (from its first incarnation as a string quintet). Inclusion of the St Antoni variations for 2 pianos is a treat!"
"As a comparison, and depending on your preference for conductors, this Rattle set would be good to have alongside the above-mentioned Abbado readings of the Symphonies"
