Sir Colin Davis, LSO - Sir Colin Davis Anthology [Limited Edition 9xSACD Box Set] (2014) SACD

Sir Colin Davis (1927-2013) did great work with London Symphony Orchestra. LSO Live published over 40 recordings with maestro, and this new limited edition box shows the best releases. There are two much-loved recordings on SACD in first time: Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9. The sound quality is excellent, much better than normal CD.
