This set offers music of a rare expressive quality. The German radio sound engineers certainly knew what they were doing because having undergone re-mastering the recordings are crystal clear and splendidly balanced. The full bodied-impact of the climaxes is stunningly conveyed…No Wand supporter should hesitate with this set nor for that matter should any lover of Romantic music.
