Stitch, It would be great if you are able to confirm that the quality of these CDs is the same as of original CDs sold separately.

Recently, I purchased two box sets from Harmonia Mundi:

1) Andrew Manze: The Art of the Violin 2) HANDEL: Oratorios - Messiah / Saul (Rene Jacobs)

The sound is terrible. My guess is that these CD were prepared from CD copies made on a computer. They have a typical loss of fidelity associated with CD copies. I have one of these CDs I bought some years ago so I could compare.

May be this thread can be devoted to box set reissues and their quality.
Max.
