hand picked. Unlikely. That's the reason for this type of box set. Duh. I suppose you could (in fact, you just did) use this thread as another reason to be arrogant.

Well, Clark can defend himself if he feels like it, but I have all of Beethoven's works (99.9% of them just to be safe from attack) and did not obtain them by purchasing some complete set. In part because I couldn't afford a complete set when I started. And in part for reasons that Clark mentions. Plus I have several versions of some of the works (late quartets, etc). It is not so unusual a position (let alone an arrogant one) to want to pick and choose performaces or to simply amass a complete set of Bach or Beethoven or whoever over time.

  It's a LOT easier to collect "all of Beethoven" (in fact, to hand pick them) than it is to do the same with Bach. In fact, I'll bet clark doesn't have HALF of Bach's output in "hand picked" versions. His post completely missed the point of the very reason one would purchase an "entire Bach". BTW, it's clarks TONE I find arrogant, not his point. His negativity (effectively, "Why bother?" or, worse, "Why would one EVER? (nose up in the air here) that gets me -- a pretentiousness type of reply to a genuinely enthusiastic initial post that is self-serving and...arrogant. In fact, he's SO arrogant, that he considers himself not to be -- the acid test.
  You may not see it, but he's an asshole (however smart an asshole). I truly dislike him.

      Another arrogant act. Basking in one's own self -- hubris may be the cruelest fate.
