Reinhard Goebel's Archiv box set

I never have any problem getting Amazon UK orders delivered to France, but no experience of the other way round.

... I never have any problems getting amazon.fr / .it / .es / .de orders delivered to the UK (and oddly they often work out cheaper, even including p&p)

Just checking in to see how far fellow owners of the set have got to. What with lots of things going on in my life, I'm only at disc 16 - the marvellous two harpsichord concerto by CPE Bach. I'd forgotten how exciting this performance was. So many more delights still to come!

I'm still working through this beautiful box set - but in a more random fashion, usually starting with old favourites.

Just popped your CPE (& WF) Bach double harpsichord CD in - gloriously lively, thanks.

(Sadly the box set notes are a rather scanty for this CD, but I've found them on Discogs.)

A contributor must have scanned the CD booklet - very helpful contribution to fellow recording collectors. I'm not a frequent user of Discogs, and it took me a while to figure out how the booklet pages can be accessed - by clicking on the CD cover image. Underneath, of course, it says "More images" - clicking there brings the images up. I also see it differs between releases - one of them doesn't have the notes on the works.

Yes, it's very useful.

Although some of the scans, e.g. of LP sleeves, havee very tiny / illegible text, e.g. this LP verson of the CPE+WF Bach.

A smaller, cheaper (if you can find it) set is the DG Archiv 6-CD 'collectors edition ' set of CPE Bach. CD3 contains the Goebel recordings of the 2-hpschd concerto in F major, Wq46 and WF Bach's sonata for two hpschds in F , F 10 (formerly atributed to JS Bach, BWV Anh. 188) and his concerto F46. Th restof the set features Pinnock, Richter and even Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau with Jorg Demus playing a 'tangent piano'. Well worth investigating.
