I adore my Haitink boxes of all the Bruckners, Mahlers and Brahmses! I
agree that these are beautifully played by an exceptionally fine orchestra.
They were in cd boxes when I bought them a few years ago, replacing our
long-plays. I don't know if they are still available but I hope they are.
And I, too, am surprised that this great orchestra gets so little praise
around here.
