The kick is -- who is performing? It is not the same listening a top quality performance or some cash hungry eastern european mercenaries. They can even massacre Mozart quite successfully.

I got my set in the mail - packging is not the best, but a bargain by almost any standard ( I got it back on Tuesday - delivery was fast)

Yeah, cardboard sleeves in a cardboard box. But hey, that's better than having 10 jewel cases, or even those multi-CD jewel cases. This box takes up very little space.

What !! no Carl Orff .. this Opera set is missing one of the greatest Operas ever made, Carmina Burana !
I'm glad that Bizet is on the list.. do they have Carmen on there !?
