I was lucky to look into the thread at just the right time. As I've got Amzn Prime for the moment, they tell me the Furtwangler Die W will be delivered this afternoon! So thanks a good spot. I'm glad its a good recording!

Only drawbacks were that each quartet was a single file,and not much in the way of sleeve notes, otherwise, a good quality, easy to use service. I shall use it again.
Be interesting to know what/ how many files the Wagner is split into.
Edit: just read Beefys post,I would guess each act is a single file.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

The mp3 quality is fine, but no notes, artwork or other information. Price is right though, and you can usually hunt these things down on the internet.

Fantastic value box of all Tennstedt's Mahler recordings, studio and live - 16 discs for 20 quid
So as well as the studio cycle, second versions of 5, 6 & 7 performed live.
I've snapped up a copy as a present for the godson who at 16 got the Mahler bug I think when I took him to the Mahler 5 at this year's Proms."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

There do appear to be times when one thinks that everyone else must be completely engrossed in the music, as oneself seems to be, but evidence for the "electric" phenomenon would really be hard to obtain. Gergiev's Prom performance of Shostakovich 4th was another occasion which might have justified that description.
I have felt there were others. Re Tennstedt himself, I never heard him live, and was never totally convinced by the Mahler studio recordings, but some of the live recordings of the Resurrection symphony (not in this set I think) are stunning. I may try this set, perhaps particularly for the live recordings as much as the studio versions.
