Well, till now I haven't been much into Leonhardt as a harpsichordist or organist. So I leave it to others to comment on the recordings on offer. But this seems to me a very nicely programmed set with him as harpsichordist, organist, accompanist and conductor - ideal to explore his art.

Why not?
He has a very nice B Minor Mass by the way.
I have many Leonhardt recordings, so the new set does not appeal. But Leonhardt sure does - he's one of the greats, whether he's playing solo works or conducting.

So have I, more than the half of the box. And I think the programming of the box could be more representative of his art. Why do we get two recordings of the BWV 1052? And a recording of BWV 1044 which features Bob van Asperen on harpsichord?

Whuddya want for €23?
I had most of this recordings in LP,and some of them in CD.
Leonhardt is one of my favorite artists. His Bach (WTC, Partitas, English Suites), Froberger, Louis Couperin are the best I ever heard. Even his recordings of Byrd, Sweelinck or Scarlatti are exceptional, although here I prefer other versions.
As conductor, he leaves two monuments: Bach's Mass, in the most spiritual version, and the complete version of the Cantatas (with Harnoncourt).

And Bach's SMP, arguably in the most spiritual version also.

This is the old Telefunken Das alte Werk Edition (complete recordings from the 1960es), which was released, when he turned seventy.
The new "octogenarian" release includes exclusively recordings released by DHM.
I missed this thread previously. But this looks quite interesting indeed: particularly as I'm not familiar with most of the repertory included, and I always enjoy the chance to expand my listening via a reliable source (as Leonhardt seems to be)!

Yes, doubling the Bach concerto and the triple with Asperen were really foolish choices. I just got the box used (while looking for the Böhm disc) for about 10 EUR and shipping (about twice what the Böhm disc would have been separately) and while rather minimalist I think it was worth the modest price for me as I only had two of the discs included (GBV and Weckmann) and there is enough interesting stuff for me in there at about an EUR/disc. I basically think of it as giving me the Louis Couperin, the Duphly/Rameau/etc. and the Böhm discs and the remainder as a bonus.

Congratulations. At that price it is a steal.
Prompted me to do a list of my favorite Leonhardt recordings:
1953 Goldbergs
1962 Froberger
1969 Art of Fugue
Well tempered Clavier whenever that was recorded
1973 English Virginal Music
1973 Alpenlander
1973 Norddeuschland
1977 Brandenburgs
1979 Louis Couperin
1980 Bach on Zell harpsichord
1984 Netherlands
1990 St. Matthew
2002 Valls/Biber
2002~2005 All the Alpha stuff (Couperin/Frescobaldi/Dom Bedos/Claviorganum/Byrd)
2006 Forqueray
But again everything Leonhardt = good

1980 Bach on Zell harpsichord
I just heard Leonhardt's transcription of the 4th cello suite for the first time, which I think is one of these recordings. I feel rather excited by it.
The bwv 1010 transcription is maybe the most "extreme" performance by Leonhardt that I can recall hearing, extreme in the alignment and independence of the voices and extreme in the sense of the rubato.
One reason I like what Leonhardt does is that it brings out the boldness, the shocking boldness, of the writing. And because it rejects traditional ideas about beauty in a bowed instrument. Maybe Bach was himself rejecting these ideas in the last three suites, that's something Lawrence Dreyfus, John Butt and Peter Wispelway suggest in a discussion.
I think I should revisit his transcriptions of the violin music now,
For the price, this looks like a good bargain for someone like me who only owns a smattering of Leonhardt's recordings.
Those who want all the "Organs of European regions" (or sth. like that) might be better served by these recent smallish bargain boxes containing only keyboard and organ works.
But while I am not yet through with the box and not knowledgeable enough about what should/could rather have been included from the pool of harmonia mundi/Seon/Sony Vivarte, it seems that the main blunder is the doubling of the Bach d minor concerto (discs 10 and 12). And the recorder versions of some Corelli sonatas probably belong rather in a box dedicated to Frans Brüggen not Leonhardt.
There is a booklet but only with a general appreciation of and a brief interview with Leonhardt; nothing about the particular discs.

All the "organs of european regions" are very nice, but I haven't found a box that has them all together. Some, like the Italy or Northern German are only available from the gargantuan SEON set, it seems like.
Maybe; I meant the following two boxes that have considerably more of them than the jubilee box. Although the almost complete lack of information in these spartan boxes might be a drawback for organ fans:
