Well, I suppose it's a good deal if you really feel you must have the four Clementi symphonies...

Seriously, for someone who doesn't already have versions of the items there (meaning, probably not you, Harry!  ) it looks like a decent introduction.

No Tchaik 1-3. 

I live and breathe Tchaik 1-3 .........

I think Brilliant should offer a box set of their entire catalogue for about $500, yeah that sounds pretty reasonable: 5000 CDs (or 2000 or whatever) or $500.

[BachQ]

No Mahler 10? 

I live and breathe Mahler 10 .........

For some it is never enough huh?

No Bruckner .........

Very interesting for price buys : These are well worth anyone's time

Haydn:Symphonien Nr. 1-104 (Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra, Adam Fischer)
Beethoven:Symphonien Nr. 1-9 (Staatskapelle Dresden, Herbert Blomstedt)
Clementi:Symphonien Nr. 1-4 (The Philharmonia, Francesco d'Avalos)
Schubert:Symphonien Nr. 1-9 (Hanover Band, Roy Goodman)
Schumann:Symphonien Nr. 1-4 (Academy St. Martin, Neville Marriner)
Schostakowisch:Symphonien Nr. 1-15 (WDR SO, Rudolf Barshai)

The Goodman Schubert is underrated, but not by me.  I really do admire this set, very pure, HIP and not overpowering.

The Mahler set is not IMO worth any salt, bar the Horenstein 3rd and the Neumann 5th if I recall correctly.  The ones listed would make my collection, and the ones omitted, best to look elsewhere.  But at that price, a winner for a newbie or an explorer...any why not?

Harry, couldn't resist, the Stravinsky 22cd set is on order from UK Amazon for £24 free delivery (don't mind waiting an extra day or two for delivery, the word FREE always gets me)    Bar the concertos, the Abbado twofer and a single Monteux cd my Stravinsky hearing is pityful.  He is a composer whom I have ever had the drive to explore....just about to put that right.  The UK set is issued next week

Wow there isn't a single Bruckner track. Shameful.

I didn't see Sibelius there, either...

You cannot have all, look instead to what is there, its really a bargain, forget grumpy D minor.

[BachQ]

forget grumpy D minor.

OK, fine ........

EVERYONE:  Buy the set.  Forget about all of its shortcomings, failures, and depravities ..........

[Harry]

.Forget about all of its shortcomings, failures, and depravities ..........

There is little of that, and considering the price, its a darn good deal.
Most of these performances are already in my collection, and I can say not much to criticize..

Some of those are very highly regarded, indeed. The Mozart sub-set is pretty good, too. All in all, quite a deal.

No way. I'm with you.

Shamefully, there is no...Elgar!

Clementi:Symphonien Nr. 1-4 (The Philharmonia, Francesco d'Avalos)

Will do, I want his symphonies now after hearing them on the radio.

[david johnson]

good shosty there!

[Bogey]

I am just going to wait and pick up the Fischer Haydn symphonies in the possible upcoming (fingers crossed) Complete Haydn set by Brilliant.

That is really in the pipeline Bill, and it is rumoured to be this year, but then you never know with Brilliant.
But that is what I hear, from the dungeons.
