Wand, like his contemporary Tennstedt was a late entrant to the international scene having honed his craft in provincial German opera houses for the best part of 50 years.

His trademark was the attention to detail that her gave every work he conducted and this certainly shows in these recordings made between 1980 and 1994 with the two orchestras he was most closely associated with.

This huge box set contains the complete symphonies of Beethoven, Bruckner, Brahms and Schubert together with works Tchaikovsky 5 & 6, Mozart 39 – 41 and Schumann 3 & 4. There are also works by Stravinsky, Webern and Martin and a DVD includes his last full interview which provides fascinating viewing.

I have to say that I have been hooked on these performances from opening the box and I can’t recommend them more highly, Wand sets brisk tempos in the entire repertoire but they work very well and give a sense of urgency and drama that are similar to Carlos Kleiber’s famous Beethoven 5 and Brahms 4. In fact I have to say that I have never heard Brahms First Symphony sound like passages from Das Rheingold and you will just have to get the set to hear what I mean.

If you are building a collection then don’t hesitate to get this set for I’m sure it won’t be around for long and as CD sales drop it may never be available in hard copy again.

A real gem and at around a dollar a disc a bargain.

Yes, I also had problems un-raring these files. JDownloader gives an error "extraction error: finish".

The problem is that isra.cloud only gives a small amount of data per day (and this is a huge download to re-do it all over again). But thanks for your efforts.

Thanks, artmuss! You rock, as always. I've now started. It'll probably take a few days, with the 25GB limitations of isra.cloud... Danke!

Fabulous collection. But to confirm topaze's results. Problems with parts 5 and 11, meaning you can't extract discs 6-9 and 15-18. I tried repairing with Winrar, but to no avail. Huge pity!!!!

UPDATE: I saw artmuss's note from yesterday saying the files were corrected, and downloaded parts 5 & 11 again (4 Gb). They still don't extract, so we're still without cds 6-9 and 15-18.

Please quit your Winrar (or UnRar) app and try again. UnRar seems to keep defective files in cache and won't rewrite them without this procedure.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've never heard that, nor found it to be a problem in the past. In fact, however, I rebooted between extraction attempts and that did not change the outcome. Can you please confirm you successfully extracted all cds?

Unfortunately, in my case, I had to RE-download everything. It works if you download the entire thing. Painful, especially with the isra.cloud 25GB/day limitation.

Thanks for the encouragement, WC2. I see artmuss has kindly provided new links (1.5 GB replacing the old 2GB links). I'll try again. I'm grateful for artmuss's help!

I have managed to download the RAR files for each disk in the Wand set, one at a time. However, when I attempt to extract the individual WAV files, I am prompted for a password that I do not have. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
