This cycle has allowed me to hear Symphonies that I would otherwise be
unable to afford.  FWIW the Naxos versions of the First and Fifth more than
compete with any of the other versions that I own (Solti 1st, Ormandy on 1
& 5).  I also have the Naxos #4 and #2 and really enjoy the Fourth but I
have never heard other versions.

I intend to pick up the third, sixth and seventh at some point.  I wouldn't
hesitate.
