Gramophone
This, the first digitally recorded cycle to appear on CD, has always had a great deal to commend it. One of its most telling assets is the actual recording, still the most natural, clear, and most sensitively balanced available. Then it has the Dresden Staatskapelle playing with the utmost beauty from start to finish. (14 CDs)
