Title: Have to agree with John's comments
Product review: This is an excellent performance.I have Martinon, Ingelbrecht, Tortelier, Boulez/New Philharmonia/1966/Sony (not the new Cleveland), Barenboim/Paris. The Martinon is without doubt the best complete set. the only other one that competes with martinon is this Ashkenazy. The Cleveland is superb in color , phrasing, very tight, yet poetic nuances. I had this cd on my shelf for 1 yr, and finally gave it a spin tonight, to compare with the recent arrival of the Boulez/New philharmonia, I'll post a review there AFTER i sell the set.I've looked over all the prelude afternoon to a faun on arkiv, and only this one and the Martinon were my 2 top picks. What a work that is.I've not heard the boulez/Cleveland/DG, and may get it.This Ashkenazy/Cleveland highly recommended.
