Even at the Amazon.es price I have resisted this one, though tempted just because it is such a great bargain. Shelf space and collection bloat are an issue. I already have too many exact duplicates and there are almost no works there that I don't already have in perfectly good performances (only Verdi Il Corsaro, at first glance). As pointed out, a great acquisition for starting a collection.
and keep it in the car for dipping into. (Sorry, the Discotheque box cost rather more than a fiver now.)

I love the expression 'collection bloat'.

As you say, at this price it's probably worth having. Let's see if they back out of this offer - they probably won't for orders placed - though the price might go up for new ones.

All I can offer today is from the Selections site. Type "Russian" in and you should come across a number of Brilliant 3 CD sets for £6.99, including Mravinsky, Svetlanov, Oistrakh, Gilels etc.
A wide range of Gardening, home accessories, wildlife and bird care products, outdoor leisure and games.
which is £7.99 (plus £1.26) from the Amazon marketplace.
I know it is only pennies, but in these times of austerity, 'every little helps'.

I can thoroughly recommend these bargains from Selections:
http://www.selections.com/bach-j-s-g...orks-2cds.html - some of the best Bach playing I've heard
Del boy: “Get in, get out, don’t look back. That’s my motto!”

I usually phone them up and get the order updated if that happens - which it has, more than once. They're normally quite good about that.
On the other hand, if you only buy in small numbers then your information may turn out to be more helpful.

Bryn,
You have had the AMSI Brendel set since last March. What do you think of the AMSI processing? Have you had a chance to compare with any of the earlier, not so-treated, incarnations?
