Title: A Major Surprise
Product review: Imagine my surprise in finding a new box set of this recording in Half Price Books for less than $20! The recording of the instrumentation seems a little distant on some tracks, but the vocals are glorious. They are crisp, clean and up front. This set has amazingly clean sound for historic recordings from 1954 ( Magic Flute); and 1955 (all others). The only drawback that I can see with this set is that there are no librettos or any other informational insert for that matter. It's just the CDs, sleeves and box. But perhaps that is just about enough.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
