Retailing for around £20 and housed in a slimline box, Haitink’s majestic VW symphony cycle was recorded with the LPO over 13 years. The Dutch maestro’s eloquent and illuminatingly intense interpretations serve up a feast of stimulating listening. The fill-ups are mostly marvellous, too; both On Wenlock Edge (with Ian Bostridge) and In the Fen Country receive sublime advocacy. Bargain of the year, no contest.
