Revisit Beethoven CD question
A while back Superpanavision inquired about Beethoven on SACD and I read through that, but would like to ask about buying a box set of the complete symphonies. I'm looking for something that is sonically great, as critiques of various interpretations would probably be lost on me. I found the following at a reasonable price ($36): 9 Symphonies, Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic (Deutsche Grammaphon). Is that a preferred selection, sonically speaking? I would also entertain the idea of buying separate symphonies, avoiding the box set, to get the best recordings on the market. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
