Rob Cowan in the March 2013 Gramophone at page 52 gave this title a ringing endorsement as to the performances, the concert video, and the extra features stating, "This is the sort of set that makes me grateful that classical recordings are still being made." Wow! Strangely, you can't tell for sure from the review if Rob watched this in DVD or the Blu-ray version. I would have to guess the DVD since he mentions "DVDs" generically in his 4th paragraph. Maybe the poor guy doesn’t have a HD TV set yet.
