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.
