Amazon sent me a recommendation a few weeks ago: a 38 disk box set of Karajan conducted symphonies for around $70. I like HvK's Beethoven and Bruckner sets, and didn't have either on CD (I still listen on vinyl), so the Amazon recommendation seemed like a good deal, because it also included Brahms, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Haydn.
HvK's Mozart has never worked for me, so when I stuck a Haydn CD (Symphonies 103 and 104) in my car's player last night, I wasn't expecting much. But on first listen, at least, it was quite wonderful: the playing was at once lithe and powerful. It appears that the dead Nazi could really do Haydn.

no nazi like a dead nazi i guess. is the $70 deal available to all or is there a special club?
I actually bought same thing also a set of Beethoven because I'm a fan of him. Amazon really gave me a better deal. You can check out guitar also if you are interested into guitar music.
I love a classical music too and its make me have great feeling
