Peter Horvath wrote of the Brendel/Vox series: >At the price, you can't go wrong! Now there's a statement that I fully agree with. For such a low price, you can experience many hours of superb Beethoven. From what I've read of the Taub series on Vox, he might be a "sleeper" worth acquiring also. There are many folks who have a problem with the sound on the Brendel recordings. I would suggest utilizing an equalizer to remove whatever problem you notice; it worked great for me. I'm aware that many high-end audio stores don't even carry equalizers. The philosophy appears to be that using an equalizer distorts the sound. Bull! If I don't like the sound "as is", I'm doing what I can to improve it for my listening pleasure. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
