I have the whole two volumes but never listened to them in their entirety. What I've heard I enjoyed very much, though.

I find them of course technically very competent, nice and polite, and not much more.

Quote from: Madiel on April 02, 2026, 08:57:45 PMI recently discovered that they did all of opuses 1 through 12, and it's been reissued as a single package.

Have heard all of it.

Quote from: Madiel on April 02, 2026, 08:57:45 PMEDIT: Oh. I gather that at least some works (like the good old Seasons) might have been recorded by them quite a few times and I have no idea which recordings are in the box set.

Some years ago I counted eight recordings, it may be more today. I only own the first one (Philips mono 1955).
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.
