In Reply to: CD-Only Box Set of Mercury Living Presence; $99 for 50 CDs posted by John Marks on March 6, 2012 at 09:20:39:
I like solo classical piano and guitar (for the most part anyway), but
have never been a far of orchestral pieces (for the most part, anyway),
and am almost abysmally ignorant of classical orchestral works. But I
am an audiophile (mostly) who likes well recorded and well played music.
Is this box going to be a good introduction to orchestral classical works
for someone like me? The purported audiophile sound quality appeals to
me greatly.
Your thoughts appreciated.
