I got the much-cheaper remastered CD box, which includes a 96/24 Blu-ray Audio disc

24.7.44.160

I then ripped the BD Audio disc to get the hi-res files onto my computer. A much cheaper proposition than buying the hi-res files alone (if you've got the ability to rip BDs, that is).

Well, I usually don't believe in box sets, but do you find yourself enjoying just about all Maazel's - jdaniel@jps.net 18:58:19 11/08/16 (1)
performances?

I'm a late-comer to this set, and I was frankly stunned by both Maazel's intensity and the VPO's ability to turn a "craggy" phrase.

So glad I didn't completely fall prey to the anti-Maazel soundbites on the 'net, (although mostly spot on, LOL), but I really enjoyed his Sibelius 1st and 2nd, but haven't heard the rest in their entirety.

And then there's that Decca sound....

  I love Maazel's intensity and the sound of the VPO in this set, and Decca's done a great job with the remastering. (It's from Maazel's early days and has none of the mannerisms/slow-downs that crept into his recordings in his late years (post-Cleveland).) The Tchaikovsky/VPO set he did around the same time is cut from the same cloth--maybe that'll be next.
