 Rating: - Stravinsky conducts StravinskyIt's common to find good value box sets from labels such as EMI Classics, Brilliant Classics and Warner Classics, but not so often on the Sony label. In general, the bigger the set the better the value, with collections of more than ten discs often falling into the bargain category of under £1 a disc. This collection though represents not only value for money but also provides pretty much all of Stravinsky's lifetime works (he composed around 127 pieces) in a compact ... Read More: Rating: - A tremendous set....the master himself-why SONY/BMG dont do this with other artists is curious; but the playing is excellent as well as the sound, for the dates of recording-and Im exposed to pieces ive never heard, or even heard of before. Who knew IS stuck his big toe in to the water of Jazz...? The shoddy booklet is a real shame, but I cannot complain, its a box set that doesnt require a fork lift to bring into the house- and I spent EXACTLY $26.00 USD for it at TOWER Mail Order Read More: Rating: - Five Stars, with only a little disappointment...I obviously agree with the enthusiasm shown by the preceding reviewers. Well beyond the bargain, this is a real cornerstone of the recording history.

However... (there is always a however), whilst the lack of the spoken and sung texts may be easily filled up with web services, Sony have not ... Read More: Rating: - What a magnificent collection !I have always regarded Stravinsky as one of the most outstanding composers I have ever listened to but had not, until now, quite realised what a stunning variety of music he had written during his lifetime. Sony have always been a reliable name to count on for top quality products and this box set has not failed to delight. I only wish some of the other recording companies could produce similar high quality box sets at such bargain prices. Congratulations to Sony and if the maestro is listening ... Read More: Rating: - Discs 3, 12, 13 and 20 ...This extraordinary gathering of the main body of Stravinsky's works, substantially conducted by the composer, is an obvious eye-catcher, especially at the very appealing pricing. It is indeed wonderful, but inevitably there are some drawbacks. Few listeners will want to sit down to listen to 22 CD's of one composer's output in a row; most listeners will find their ears wearying somewhat at the very dated sound quality - the majority of the recordings are from the 1960's, and although many come up surprisingly well, ...
