With its DECCA it is more than likely that the sum is quite fabulous ... I will buy the beast. Especially since the programming is ultimately quite original in the choice of versions and avoid too many duplicates ...
Two disappointments, however:
relatively little Mahler
a little too much "Straussian" pastries for my taste (I do not speak of the great Richard course but the 5 CD devoted to other strauss, although a small well recorded by the Wiener waltz time to time does not hurt! )
