In Reply to: Why I bought a 155 CD set- and Happy Birthday Herr Bach ! posted by Bambi B on March 21, 2007 at 12:32:42:
As to any box set, I can't imagine immersing myself in some record producer's chosen performances. Over the decades I have collected so many gems that I find most everything else way inferior. Ever hear Elisabeth Gruemmer sing Mein glauebiges Herze from Cantata 68? (Just for instance...) Or Glenn Gould playing the Partitas? Why would one want to go in search of completeness anyway?When WHRB played the complete Bach several years ago -- and what a time it was! -- not one selection to my knowledge came from a collected set, each was carefully chosen for musical merit.
Of course I'd say the same about Beethoven, Mahler, Sibelius.
