I concur.  This has to be one of the greatest of Naxos' series to date.

I've bought every one I could get my hands on and am still working my way
through them enjoying 4 out of 5.

The CDs' designs are nice and if you really don't like an issue then these
CDs go for a premium on the second hand market.

I think that masterpiece is a bit too strong to describe most of the works
but they are well worth getting.
