well, it appears you can pick it up for under a fiver inc P&P, so you don't have much to lose... ;-)

Right. The deed has been done.

I shall X my fingers.

and so will I!

Well, I never! Dane and Mahler, who would ever have believed it? The Klemperer is a very fine recording but I prefer the Solti/LSO to any other Resurrection. Enjoy!

Good man Jared, spread the Gospel!

However Kubelik's BRSO cycle is, for me, a masterpiece of interpretation

Well it is Rafael Kubelik!

Hello Matt. I find Scriabin an intriguing composer with perhaps not enough recordings available given his reputation. I got this disc at a good price also because I am always eager to hear Boulez's take on works.

Keep posting Matt!

^^ Thanks Sean. I too own the Muti set - it's excellent

This is also a reliable set...
