I have the Bruckner set. It is late 70's vintage analogue remastered in 24 bit digital. The sound is pretty good, good enough that the sound does not detract from the enjoyment of the performances. It is well balanced and clear, but the resonance of the recording venue conceals the details of inner voices somewhat. The orchestra is ok but not the greatest, especially the brass.
