Yeah John, I have about a thousand classical CDs(which is by no means an extremely large collection)and there are a few that I wish that I didn't have. It's very few however, and I've tried to listen before buying and getting at least two professional reviews first. Needless to say, I don't recommend anything here that I don't personally like and think would appeal to most listeners. Of course, conductors have a degree of subjectivity in their performances although they generally have the same score in front of them, and some listeners won't care for their slant, but one of the nice things about this great music is that there are often dozens of choices for each work available.
Mo, women generally love to save money at a good sale, so tell her that at these prices they're almost giving this great music away. Although your wife won't be enjoying April in Paris, maybe some Ravel right at home will do(or maybe not)?
