yeah, I think it's worth springing for a complete version. I see the
Naxos CD skimps on the earlier, simpler pieces which are terrific.
The two performances I have on vinyl seem to be out of print or not
released on CD.
for what its worth, one's a Vox box played by Gyorgi Sandor, the
other's played by Homero Francesch on Deutsche Grammophon. The Sandor
is more lyrical sounding and more satisfying overall despite a
certain 'old fashioned' (post-romantic?) vibe. the Francesch has a
more cerebral, modern feel which sometimes sounds crisp and fresh and
at other times plodding.
a trip to Amazon.com reveals that there's a Sandor "Mikrokosmos" on
Sony Classics, don't know if it's the same recording as my Vox, but
probably worth checking out. There do seem to be a few other versions
out, so there are a bunch of options, I just not familiar with them.
