Firstly Celibidache conducts a marvelous Drum Roll Symphony and acceptable recordings of the London and Oxford Symphonies and there it ends. It must be an achievement to make beethoven boring but he achieves it. The 9th is the worst of a pretty poor bunch. If you enjoy seeing trees outside the forest then this may please you but great works need to be seen in the whole and not just in short extracts and this conductor gives no idea of the structure of the works. Other conductors take slow speeds but no one else concentrates on the minute. To paraphrase rossini on wagner Celibidache has his moments but he alsO has hos half hours, and there are far too many of them.
Perhaps this set would be worthwhile as a study aid but is that really justification for spending the best part of £20.

Just to confirm, all earlier sets did contain 2 x CD11's and no CD1, this has now been corrected by EMI and the set now contains all the correct discs.

I haven't bought this set yet because when last I read up the reviews there was a problem with missing CDs. Amazon had a notice saying there was "problem" which was being investigated and the set was unavailable. Well, here we have it up again on the site sans any of the earlier comments. Hmmmm.
I remember someone had bought the set without any problems - how about you post a review, mentioning the quality of packaging and recording, not just the (hopefully) brilliance of these examples of Celibadache's work?
It seems like quite an attractive set.
I put up the 4 stars to catch people's attention - and because, from what I've read elsewhere, this should contain many excellent readings of these works.
