+1. I love Rite, but I'm so sick of it.

I'd much prefer such a collector's item with Agon.

Thought about it, but 15 or so that I already have, most of which are in this box, seems enough.

or multiple versions of all Milhaud operas ...

or multiple versions of all Milhaud operas ...

They need to finish recording all of Milhaud first, though. I got an interesting-looking score for a work of his called Suite en Sol (Suite in G). I looked everywhere for a recording, but I couldn't find one. That's because one doesn't exist! I wouldn't normally just blindly get a score, but it was at a price that I couldn't refuse at a closing music store.

Cluytens has always been a favourite of mine. Not a lot available in stereo alas. (More than Cantelli  ) there,s a Membran box but they are so spotty. Do you know it?

Duty, $50

Not my thing as I have two ears, but you mono-maniacs might like it.

No. I've come to pretty much loathe anything Membran in my long jazz years (those are still going on, but they're 20+ now, whilst the classicals are 2 plus some weeks now) - crappy presentation, bad sound, silly omissions, sometimes MP3-sourced ... I do have the big Furtwängler box (which is one of those silly things that gives no track timings), but other than that I mostly* stood away from their releases in classical as well.

*) they've got that sublabel ... NCA? Some good stuff out there, in okay presentation and sound, those are their own recordings, I think? At least more recent vintage and pretty much okay from what I've sampled so far (in jazz, they did some okay things, too, like some properly licensed reissues).

As for Cluytens, I have the odd opera and most recently the Beethoven symphony cycle (not heard it yet), but not much beyond that. Guess he's conducting some concertos I have, too ...

I have this box. It has some real drop dead treasures on it. The sound quality is fine.

As seen on Blu-ray.com. 40 Classical Blu-rays for $144.01 + S&H (or no S&H with Prime).

I'm very suspicious of that one. I bet it's just stereo recordings culled from CDs run through some sort of DSP. I can do that myself.

I linked a single disc that had a very negative review attached a page or two back. I sent the set back and amazon's already refunded me the money.
