randyhersom Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I won a $200 Amazon gift card in a side competition at the National Scrabble Championships and I've decided to get one of the Complete Brahms boxes. The DG has bigger names, older recordings and is a bit cheaper ($65). The Brilliant ($82 up) has 14 more CDs and at least a few works that aren't on the DG. Anybody have any thoughts on the relative merits. I already have the Szell symphonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I went with the DG. Also ordered the Rubenstein Chopin collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyhersom Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have dipped into the Alto Rhapsody disk and the Clarinet disk so far, quite nice. About halfway through the Rubenstein/Chopin, albeit with varying levels of concentration. Glad I got both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alppila Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Received the Chopin this morning and have been listening to the first disc (Nocturnes) on repeat since. Highly recommended set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
