Oh no, a few years ago I had the good fortune to grace the classical isles of Ludwig Beck in Munich, what a shop! I had that set in my little hands but unfortunately I did not have the wisdom to buy it. I can repent at my leisure.

I hope that you really enjoy it Darren.

I adore Reiner's work with the CSO and this is one of the reasons why I do...it's wonderful.
