In Reply to: Not familiar with quite a few of these recordings posted by jimbill on March 6, 2012 at 12:15:18:
(a) It's a great way to get a lot of repertoire with older but star names, at prices below Naxos.
(b) Like any individual recording or not (I am not wowed by the Starker Bach, but I have a dog in that fight), there are lots of audiophiles and music lovers who will know what you are talking about.
Bottom line: it depends on where you are as a classical collector. I wouldn't buy that set, but I would buy the 18-CD Delius set on EMI for $60, in that I want to cover that waterfront.
