Nope, but I've got Hänssler's set. Cheaper and fewer CDs, but excellent!

Is this a new mix and master compared to the LLL release?

It sounds like that's what you're getting. If he only reviews scores that he thinks you should check out, then there is your answer.
EDIT: ^^^ What @JNHFan2000 said.
I was replying to his question "Who wants to read about something that's crap?"

People want to read reviews to get an informed opinion, to see if the score's worth checking out. At least that's what I do.

Everybody's favourite cello concerto usually seems to be Elgar's, which does nothing for me.
Listen to the DuPre/Barenboim recording.

You and I have a very different opinion of what constitutes "fun". I find it to be an excruciatingly boring score.
I was only referring to the fun parts. The boring parts are boring.

Cid's dead, baby. Cid's dead.

It's better than expected then!

The Imitation Game is fun.

From left to right: Pollini, Boulez, and Abbado. All dead.

...and then he said, they're all dead!

Love this recording
Oh yes, bring out those lines. Can't remember if this is a new arrangement or one from Beethoven's time. I'm a bit of a collector of the latter.

That bad, eh?

I got in touch with their customer service, they said they wouldn't refund it, then the webpage says they would, up to €7. Money aside, the idea of having to go through this plus making a new order once it's been refunded, with more days to wait for the actual delivery, because of an issue affecting 2 minutes of a track out of a 20 disc set is giving me some headache 🫣.
I cleaned the disc with a dedicated tool and cleaning solution, the disc is clean and looks immaculate, I am trying to rip with Exact Audio Copy, it's been working on that track for several hours trying to get those errors fixed, tomorrow I will know if it's worked, either way it's surely defective 🙁.
I've returned countless of damaged orders to amazon.fr, amazon.de, and amazon.co.uk, and I've always got the return shipping refunded, although sometimes with some issues with customer service.
Three pieces of advice:
- If you still want the item, ask for a replacement, not a refund. Then they sometimes tells you to keep the damaged item. If you're asked to return the damaged item, you'll often receive the replacement before having to return, so if both are damaged you might be able to combine parts to create an undamaged set.
- If you're told to return the damaged item, use the cheapest shipping possible. They usually won't refund the whole expense of an expensive, tracked shipping.
- Some customer service people have no clue and will misinform you. If that happens, try again with another customer service person and play the part of an unhappy, but polite, customer.

Incidentally as I continue this novella, has anyone here heard the Beethoven Symphony trios with Emmanual Ax, Yo Yo, and Leonidas Kavakos? They're incredibly well done, but of course brought to life by the most amazing musicians.
I love chamber arrangements of Beethoven's symphonies, assuming, of course, that the arrangement is good.

The Bear McCreary Thread
in General Discussion
Posted
Leatherette gold-embossed slipcase with five printed digipaks (2 CDs per case) and 136-page booklet.
And as a special thank you from Bear and his team, 200 copies from this numbered run are offered with an exclusive Bear McCreary autograph card inside.
So he can write his name. Good for him.
