- An Extraordinary Musical Offering
This collection is a box of delights. From the spine-tingling antiquities of Byzantine chant to the modern edginess of Shostakovich, Janácek and Bartók, by way of the familiar and the less well-known, the set does nothing less than present the listener with a compelling and beautiful journey through more than seven centuries of Western music. Other reviewers have picked out individual highlights, so suffice to say here that performances and recordings are of a consistently high standard, while special mention must be made of the presentation box, complete with CD of libretti and words, and a stunning book interweaving notes on the music with the story of Harmonia Mundi. Buy it!

- Yes, the best deal in classical music history
I already own several discs in this collection, but for the totally knock me down with a feather price I was more than happy to buy them again. I simply can't believe the price being asked for this collection. Harmonia Mundi is revered and awarded for its recordings of medieval, renaissance and baroque musics, in particular, so don't get the idea you're buying inferior recordings. There are 29 (!!!) cds in the set PLUS a cd-rom of (I believe) printable sheet musics and annotations. This is the best deal in recorded music history - buy this set and you will have a collection of important canonical works beautifully performed and recorded that will reward you for the rest of your life; it's that good. I still cannot believe the price...

- Best Classical music deal in History!
Here you get 50 complete works, musicans and recordings are in the top.
The Music spendig from the ancient time to our time.
You get The best Matthäus-Passion of J. S. Bach in history, very good Stabat Mater of Vivaldi sung by Andreas Scholl. Here you find rare recordings and I BET you will like most of the music if you love classical music. It's a Perfect Christmas gift for Classicalmusic lovers!
