The sound is very good. The "ambience" I crave is intact. Bruckner's grand vistas unfold as they should but do so within a solid (and admittedly inescapable) frame. No tape saturation issues.
I'd rank the sound above their Sibelius 5th and Dvorak Cello Concerto reissues.
K's 8th, 1st mov't seems a bit choppy but climaxes make their mark. I found it hard to "lock in" but maybe it was me. That said, masterful pacing of the 3rd and 4th movts. Very satisfying and string sound is remarkably beautiful.
I'm anxious to investigate their Schoenberg Pelleas and Verklakte Nacht remaster now.
