Not bad for starters There are too many wonderful recordings of the Symphonie Fantastique to single out this one as the best. What we can single out is that it is the first in stereo and at that it ain't half bad. Pleasant and natural sound, but animic in the more demanding movements. Performance is so-so. If you want real excitment, look elsewhere. But if you are a history buff, go for it. Submitted by Lumoo (Westlake Village, CA, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 0 of 2 found this helpful.

$28.85 Before signing with EMI and recording all of Mozart String Quartets at least once and often twice, the Alban Berg Quartet recorded nearly half of them first for Teldec and many regard them still as their freshest and most vital performances. This four CD budget box is an outstanding bargain and all unfamiliar with their earlier performances and who simply treasure these quartets are strongly encouraged to give this set a listen.
