Re: "Great Conductors of the 20th Century" series





"the series featured crappy sounding live recordings of repertoire the
conductors recorded in the studio."

Crappy sound may be the price you have to pay, but isn't the
opportunity to hear otherwise unavailable live material a selling
point?

"And many releases simply featured already in print commercially
released studio recordings. "

That's another story.
