Haven't made my way to his Beethoven Symphonies yet

From what you say, I eagerly anticipate listening to that Seventh Symphony!

The only semi-disappointment I've had so far is the Rachmaninoff Third Symphony, which in general could have used more detail IMHO (although, at the same time, there were other details Previn brought to the fore which were very interesting), and which for whatever reason didn't seem to enjoy as wide ranging engineering as the vast majority of other recordings in the set - I guess most of the LSO recordings were done by Wilkinson and Co.? I also read from some of the Amazon comments that the general dynamic level on the recordings of this set is a bit higher than it was on previous CD reissues of these Previn recordings - leading some to suppose that they had all been remastered. (And yet others say no. I'm not that familiar with these earlier CD reissues, so I can't say myself.)
