Absolutely.  These are all live recordings that show another side of
Haitink's personality (he tends to be rather laced up in the studio).
There is also another 14-CD set of live recordings that includes a live
Bruckner 7th, a DSCH 10 and a lot of other music that he has not recorded in
the studio.

While you're there, inquire about their upcoming 11-CD set of Van Beinum's
broadcast recordings.
