Reading individual reviews in Gramophone or other magazines is much MORe
insightful than perusing an "Editor's Choice" column. Often, the discs
assigned as a top choice by the editor do not receive stellar indiviudal
reviews. That's a primary reason why I consider the Penguin Guide
insufficient as a guide to buying recordings; it does not provide any
insights. You have to take it on faith or not at all.
