 My favorite Beethoven cycle August 18, 2008
W. Rudisill
Stated simply, this is the grandest cycle of Beethoven symphonies available.Don't let other reviewers make you think that the sound is terrible.It is not.I am very picky about what I listen to,and the minor imperfections in this set cannot come close to comparing with the positive aspects.This set has (in my opinion the best version of the 1st and 8th I have ever heard).I hope all that purchase this set get one tenth of the enjoyment out of it that I have.
Beethoven and Toscanini June 21, 2008
Ernest (Bethesda MD)
Editions of Beethoven- Toscanini recordings have been around for a long time now. These records offered here are an excellent collection of the late recordings. Highly recommended
 Junk, utterly ruined by poor sound quality May 22, 2008

Title says it all, it matters not who performed / conducted the cycle when the sound quality of the recording is this poor. Its like listening to a 40 year old record through a tunnel with cotton stuffed in your ears.
Great value for the money! May 19, 2008
R. Mathew (Durham, NC)
This is a collection of all nine of Beethoven's symphonies conducted by the legendary Arturo Toscanini. It can't be beat for the price! It's an unbelievably good bargain.
great toscanini favorites May 8, 2008
roni (rockville, CT USA)
Toscanini outdoes himself with this terrific boxed set of all nine of Beethoven's symphonies. The music is lavish and the sound quaility is outstanding. The price for all that you get is very good too. I would recommend this to any classical music lover.
