I feel that I was a big booster of this set. 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. David Stewart [log in to unmask]
