Highly recommended.  However take special care to which version you're
going to buy.  Remember that Furt.  didn't do much studio recordings and
his records come mainly from live performances.  Thus you may find a dozen
9ths and half a dozen 5ths for example.  (Remember that he did over 50
performances of the 9th with the VPO only!!

Good luck and enjoy it.
