If this is the 1974 set (or was it 1973?) it's a *must*, one of the
best recordings of these works IMO (but there are many more as good).
Which reminds me: has anyone heard the recent HIP-version by Lucy van
Dael? I remember people on this list liking Wallfisch.  I think Van Dael
is twice as good.  (Well..er...)
