    Well I intended to dip into this some hours ago and am still going, the singers, though good, are not my favourite but the overall performance is great.

    Well after I think five hours of Les Troyens it's now La Damnation de Faust. Just over two hours sounds cool.

    I did a quick comparison when the Dudamel came out. The Tilson-Thomas set is great and has more than just the symphonies obviously, which is a big deal. Tilson-Thomas's symphonies are very well played and recorded and are pretty essential in my opinion. I prefer the Dudamel recordings though, for a more robust sound and excellent performances. I don't think you'd be disappointed having both. There's a difference in the placement of instruments mic/mix/engineering-wise on the Dudamel that I found a bit more pleasing than the Tilson-Thomas.
