No overstatement at all;  I find all this to be simply The Case.

I have it in its previous incarnation with the Symphony in Eb, also a great recording!

Late DSCH quartets as good as any I've heard.  Great recordings are still being made.

If he has the Symphony Edition box, it's in there

Aye.  (And it's a temptation, I do not deny.)

Jean Barraqué's Chant après chant by the Mccormick Percussion Group and Jamie Jordan. Best new recording of 2015 .

The Barraqué works based on Death of Virgil are something well worth knowing I think. I can certainly see why one or two people thought he was the greatest composer since Debussy - I don't think anyone would say that on the basis of just the piano sonata though. On the other hand, I've never got far with Broch's book, despite two or three tries in English and in French - I can't read German.
