I am actually surprised at the quality of the music and audio supplied
by Brilliant Classics, especially their boxes.
I was given the Beethoven 85 cds box and was more than pleasantly surprised by the general quality on offer.
I am now able to dispose of lots of my Beethoven cd's collected over the years as the choice of material in the Brilliant box is superior to what I had. I am so impressed that I am thinking of buying the 170 cd's Mozart box. Does anybody knows about the Mozart box.
Reviews on Amazon are positive.

( I am sure the sound quality varies by the release, tho ) I am curious which CDs did your Beethoven box set replaced?

Why not?

I have the original Dorian set and thought it a bargain at twice the price.

First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
