Thank you very much! Would have missed it....

The sound quality is really good (for a download, but nearly comparable to CD).
Interpretation ranges from good to mediocre. I enjoyed 6-8 although I wasn't satisfied with everything (they are not really up to my references).

The Ninth, as usual, was a disappointement. I figure that once you have "your" recording, it will be nearly impossible to surpass it. Nevertheless, of all performances I heard until now (which are only 8, I think...not sure...) this was actually the worst (not meaning to say it was bad...just not as good as the others). This is mainly due to Tempo choices, I disagree on every movement except the second and parts of the finale.

However, worth the listening all the time, thanks again.

PS: the 6th is only available until the 4th of July, the 7th until the 5th and so on, so hurry up...
