Longer selections just take two discs. THey`re not much better (if at all) than good LPs though. ANother question: does anybody have the Columbia LP of Kubelik conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orch. in Mozart Symphonies 38, 39 (and another record of 35, 36). This is ostensibly a digital recording, which sounds so bad as a CD I`m wondering if the CD mastering got screwed up. By "so bad" I mean lack of detail, diminished highs, muddy bass, everything you`d have expected to hear in 1958. JF
