There is a lot of background noise in some of the recordings - hiss.

When I said unsatisfactory, I was referring more to the amount of care that
went into bringing out something that I can stick in my CD Rack - it just
looks really cheap.  The sound doesn't bother me too much.  I am still glad
I bought it but it is a bit disappointing when there are 2 sonatas missing
(though I now know where to get them from) and very variable sound quality.
