I had seen a review of this CD on YouTube, and wanted to hear this interpretation of the symphonies. Frans Brueggen, the conductor of this recording is well-known for his interpretations of music of the Baroque and Classical period on "original instruments," and I wanted to compare his interpretations to those of others. From what I listened to, I found the music to have the proper weight and clarity that was appropriate to the time period. I am satisfied with what I heard, and I may get a set directed by Bernstein to compare them with. If you like this style of interpretation, you will like the set. As far as quality of recording, they are very good. This recording is currently not is stock in the US, so I was happy that they were available in the UK. Read full review
