Our July drawing/giveaway is for two of the Complete Beethoven Symphonies 6-SACD boxed sets on the Dutch Challenge Classics label, with the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jan Willem de Vriend. De Vriend is regarded as an outstanding conductor with a new and fresh point of view on Beethoven. Curiosity and eagerness are part of the way he works, and these are excellent hi-res multichannel recordings of all nine symphonies. Please register right now to be considered as one of the two winners at the end of this month. More details on our July Editorial Page.   See our new Guide to Hi-Res Downloading
