Ignore the other person's meaningless "review." Receiving an empty CD case has nothing to do with the CD itself.

If you are a fan of Beethoven symphonies (and who isn't?) and appreciate hearing old favorites in new ways, you will love this. These are not Liszt transcriptions in the sense of romantic spectacles, but rather more strict piano interpretations for four hands. I don't think many would prefer this to the original full orchestral showstopper which is Beethoven's Seventh. But it is highly enjoyable, and the SACD sonics are excellent.

I received this CD, sealed, yesterday. When I opened the case, there was no SACD inside - nothing!

Beware when ordering this item, because I am sure the manufacturer is to blame rather than Amazon.

I am unable to review the CD itself since I don't have it yet. Amazon is sending another out, so I am pleased with their customer service.
