    Agree. And a top-notch performance.

    Looks like I was the only one who has this recording but I don't have a Naim setup ... :winkgrin:

    While I have never heard this recording, I kind of doubt about this claim as there have been many outstanding recordings of these works made over the years and even some more recent releases ...

    With the Florilegium / L'Oiseau-Lyre releases, I'm predicting that I'm going to be going all in on their stuff just based on my reactions to what I've already been able to acquire.

    Question is, with their Baroque Era and Mozart Symphonies boxes OOP and priced accordingly, is there any easy way to get hold of those collections without having to source everything individually, or will I just be waiting for another "re-boxing" to hit the market?

    I could understand someone calling it their favorite, but the word 'best' doesn't work for me. I don't believe it. :)

    You've been warned. The Ravel Edition, and my Solti Ring sets came with cardboard sleeves. But the Zoltan Kocsis Bartok piano set, and Poulenc/Dutoit orchestral set also have paper sleeves, but at least they weren't sealed shut like the Haydn.

    IIRC, you don't have or no longer have a turntable? (I may be thinking of someone else, not really sure). :)

    I've been running into this sealed sleeves thing lately. Not only is it annoying, but surely it must cost the manufacturers more than leaving them unsealed? :confused:

    Are those Florilegium / L'Oiseau-Lyre releases only available in the used vinyl bins these days? I don't believe any new pressings are hitting the market ...

    Yes, used vinyl only, but often in near-mint/mint condition. And availability has increased since the release of the CD boxes.

    Edit: And prices have dropped since the release of the CD boxes.

    The Mozart symphonies can all be had on vinyl...

    Who knows why they make these asinine decisions at these companies? But if it's anything like the post office (where I used to work) the decision is made by some ignorant manager that has no clue about the product.

    Wow. What beautiful sets. Don’t know why they are so scarce over here, but I’ve never seen L’Oiseau-Lyre LPs in the used bins in Germany.

    I still have a turntable, but it's basically a stand for my dust bunny collection these days.

    Vinyl as a format, I have nothing against - I swear! It was just too fidgety and expensive to "do right" from my perspective, so it definitely fell down the priority ladder and hit every rung on the way.

    That said, were I to find a decently priced lot of those classical records, I'd definitely make an exception or five! :laugh:

    Holy hair light Batman! Looks like the portraits I took when I first learned how to use a light kit during the first semester in art school. :shh: I bet the music is glorious though...

    Did/do you own all those Hogwood's Mozart Symphonies on vinyl?

    I've got the original vinyl and it was also one of the last SACDs I bought before giving up on the format. It's a great record, great sound. Have never heard it in surround though.

    I do. It took me over 20 years to complete the set. :)

    Or maybe they value sound quality and keep the records in their collections. :winkgrin:
