I´ve got almost all of the stuff on LP, but they are rarely among my most treasured performances. Sometimes, sonics also limit the experience if compared to other recordings, like in Debussy and Webern.
I rate Dorati higher, for example, but of course they didn´t record exactly the same music.

Boulez´s early Webern Passacaglia is a find though, much more intense than the later DG. The Schönberg and Berg are probably among the best offers in this collection. Bartok and Stravinsky are OK too.

Your best bet is this guy/gal's blog. (S)he's obsessively scanning all the artwork for all the CDs in big box sets.

Looks like no Boulez Edition yet, though. :(

I downloaded all of those from that site! But, alas, the project seems to have been abandoned :'(
It's all good...
