Reviews

  • G-aug7's avatar
    G-aug7
    I have a version similar to this but mine has the track listing of CD2 wrong: Booklet, backcover and printing on CD list Study #4 as track 2-8 (which in fact is #35) while the track names of 2-2 to 2-8 move to positions 2-1 to 2-7. Very confusing!

    To be clear: The listing in the discogs entry above is correct!

    Apart from that: Great collection, I started with these CDs, love them, and I don't need any of those other editions.
