I have two sets.  The Preston/Menuhin on modern instruments, missing
only 16.  A little straight, but quite good.  And Tachezi/Harnoncourt
with HIP, but just op 4 & 7. More exciting.  with Tachezi doing a lot
more embellishing.  A bit rough in the orchestra, but compelling
nonetheless.  I'm not entirely sold on either and am looking about.
I've heard good things about Malcolm and (I think) Marriner on Argo,
but something tells me I had this once and sold it.
