So let's talk about what this recording does have. Certainly, we've come a long way from these old-fashioned efforts, and certainly there are artists who make more authentic sounds. I've read reviews that state that this particular disc can't stand up to more modern versions, but I don't see why not. Still, Alan Loveday's very traditional reading will appeal to those looking for something outside of the period-instrument movement. This album certainly is worthy to stand with those classics, but for whatever reason, this excellent recording is less than generously packaged. Curzon's Schubert, Dutoit's Holst…they all were made available in this fashion. There are many reasons why Universal's Penguin Classics line was less than successful, but there were many wonderful recordings that appeared there.
