The set I received has one defective disc. I'm trying to find a way to avoid sending it back. I didn't realize when I bought from Amazon.com that it was coming from Amazon UK and would have to be sent back to the UK if there was a problem.
I like Ross's playing a lot. I don't know how I overlooked it for so many years -- I think I confused him with Belder, whose playing I found a little under-characterized. When I was younger, I preferred a ferocious approach to Scarlatti (say, Hantai). While I still appreciate that, I enjoy it in smaller doses, and Ross's more temperate approach is more enjoyable for longer listening.
But 34 discs! It's like an assignment, if a very pleasant one.
