Certain classical CDs have key tracks made unavailable but by no means all or even most. All the Chailly Beethovens are on there, complete Ring cycles from Barenboim and Thielemann, and much, much more.<br /><br />EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607352.post-47372119436373231932011-12-07T12:17:55.267-05:002011-12-07T12:17:55.267-05:00I think the interviews are insufferable, actually....I think the interviews are insufferable, actually.

But it will be interesting to compare to the new Chailly Beethoven set which I like very much so far (except for the 4th).jflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017753357752263113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607352.post-62468064042663552592011-12-06T10:38:27.664-05:002011-12-06T10:38:27.664-05:00any chance you're gonna chime in on the Thiele...any chance you're gonna chime in on the Thielemann Beethoven set?
