Title: Disappointing!
Review: This 3 CD set is disappointing. Close to 2/3 of the music is in mono, not stereo. The mono recordings are not even close to being top flight mono. They date from 1957 when many recordings were already being made in great sounding stereo. What Deutsche Grammophon should have done is to take CD 2 (all stereo) and the 2 stereo tracks off CDs 1 and 3 and combined them with other artists and made a 3 CD Richard Strauss Panorama series set.Just about everything on Bohm's 3 CD set has been recorded in great sounding stereo by Herbert Von Karajan. If I were in the market that is the direction I would go.
Is the review positive or negative?
