I just received a Berglund/Bournemouth box. It has 11 discs of non Sibelius material, which I already owned. Lots of Shostakovich, but quite a bit more Nordic Music that is unknown to me so I’m looking forward to that.
I’m curious about a Toscanini box. It features the BBC Orchestra all pre war recordings. My Toscanini is limited to NBC SO. I had heard some of these on a radio show years ago in pretty murky sound, but restoration engineering has come a long way. There is a label called Immortal Performances which has won high praise for reissuing the same material, but the price difference between this and the Icon box is considerable. The IP discs are issued singly and the sale price of the Icon box is the same as one of the IP discs. Is anyone familiar with the Toscanini Icon box?
