...by the degree to which you've pursued this construction gig. I'm nowhere near so involved, stopping after one: a plain old Zimmerman from c. 1971. I'm told by people who know this stuff that it turned out sounding better than any other such kit they'd heard, which I ascribe simply to woodworking skills. I still have it, yes, but haven't approached it (or regulated it, or tuned it) for well over a decade.As to Bach, you are much more the collector than I imagined; under those circumstances the box set represents an expansion of an already intimate knowledge, from which base you are able to assess each of the box performances and not use them as your one-and-only.
>A couple of complete sets though I would like to have: Grieg "Lyric Pieces", Medelssohn "Lieder ohne Worte"... Those would be good choices. I believe the Schubert *has* been done!
