I'll register a dissenting opinion about the Nimbus set. Earlier in the
year, I started listening through Jando's and Roberts' Beethoven. After
getting through the first nine sonatas, I couldn't take Roberts repeated
use of annoying hesitations and ditched the set (a *very* rare occurrence
for me). In its place, I got Brendel's Vox recordings, which I prefer to
either of the other two. I don't care for Nimbus' somewhat cavernous sound
either.
I agree with Patrik's take on Jando - competent though not enlightening.
