DG's new big box-set isn't a 'greatest hits' compilation – it's more interesting than that

Deutsche Grammophon is celebrating its 120th anniversary with the release of 'DG120 – The Anniversary Edition', a 120-disc box-set charting the history of the company. And while the set may contain a few albums which are already occupying your record shelves, DG have gone out of their way to make this new set an attractive proposition for even the most ardent collector.

The set includes 'many recordings released internationally for the first time and recordings newly digitised from historic shellac discs' along with a single Blu-ray disc containing Karajan's era-defining Ring cycle and a 200-page book charting the company's history.
