My affliction is such that I seize upon any information given by other MBs about big box sets that I might have otherwise missed. It was here that I learnt about the 21 CD Brilliant Box of the Haydn Baryton Trios....I haven't actually fallen prey to it yet, but know that I will fairly soon. I know that I will probably only listen to it about once, but that won't stop me buying it. Can anyone explain that?

Don't try too hard to catch up - in this race there's a pretty big prize for coming last - it's called "more pocket money"Originally posted by teamsaint View PostI think the most versions I have of anything is about 3...VerKlarte Nacht and prolly the odd bit of mozart or schubert. Lots of catching up to do on all of you I am afraid.

I bought the Haydn complete Piano Trios box (Beaux Arts) years ago simply because it was in a sale and a bargain at the time.
As far as I can remember I've never played any of it.Comment

Sounds like the board needs to spend jubilee weekend doing the mother of all musical car boot sales..........
release some cash for som. much needed ........er......... CD's?
Actually an exchange/sale forum might not be a bad idea...........I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Don't know about fellow ceedeeaholics on here but I'm not sure I want to be parted from any of my cds, unplayed,unopened or whatever.Originally posted by Pianorak View PostNot a bad idea? It's brilliant!
I have a plan to listen to every single one of them at least once if and when I ever retire.Comment

Brilliant idea!Originally posted by teamsaint View Post
There's definitely something in it. Just think of the number and range of CDs that say, a mere 25 of us own - 25,000?Comment

AH, now the think is, you appear to only have a mild form of the malady. You see, the baryton trios set of which you write can also be found in this soewhat larger box:Originally posted by MickyD View Post

Forget that idea, Edge, I've been retired almost ten years - I now have more unplayed CDs than ever before, less disposable income but more time to source cheaper CDs. But don't be under any illusion that you have more spare time when retired as other things inexplicably take over. Mind you I wouldn't swap it and go back to work!Originally posted by EdgeleyRob View PostComment

Fair enough. I was thinking more of those endless duplications one has acquired (and that regrettable Britten stuff).Originally posted by EdgeleyRob View PostMy life, each morning when I dress, is four and twenty hours less. (J Richardson)Comment

... and on that big Haydn box of some 150 CDs is the ominous writing: "Volume One"....Originally posted by Bryn View PostAH, now the thing is, you appear to only have a mild form of the malady. You see, the baryton trios set of which you write can also be found in this somewhat larger box:

That's not strictly true. It does not actually carry that legend, but neither is it by any means a complete edition. There is but a small selection of the operas, and a few of the string quartets are missing (though they were later included in the separate boxed set of just the string quartets). It is still a pretty hefty survey though.Originally posted by vinteuil View Post... and on that big Haydn box of some 150 CDs is the ominous writing: "Volume One"....Comment
