      Regarding the Arnold, I presume you mean the 3 Hyperion Helios discs - plenty of excellent listening to look forward to there.

                        Yes, indeed, Petrushka. The set is wending its way to York, estimated delivery later next week - and the lower price was quoted! "For this relief much thanks".

                              Mozart: Violin & Wind Concertos. Decca: 4784271. Buy download online. Henryk Szeryng (violin), Gérard Poulet, Richard Morgan, Norman Jones, Nobuko Imai, Howard Shelley, Stephen Orton, Maria Graf, Irena Grafenauer (flute), Karl Leister (clarinet), Klaus Thunemann (bassoon), Peter Damm (horn), Neil Black, Jack Brymer, Alan Civil, Michael Chapman, Heinz Holliger,...

                              This 9cd Mozart wind and violin concertos set is available from Amazon UK for £6.07 - presumably another pricing error. The ASIN number is B008CYV02I

                              Off topic but this my home territory as it were, may I say that I have been saddened by the glee and at best tasteless remarks made by many of the lead contributors to these boards over on Platform 3 following the death of Lady Thatcher. My respect for these individuals whose knowledge and understanding of musical matters I have much appreciated and learnt from, has taken a considerable knock to the extent that I no longer wish to share their company. For the time being I am therefore taking a sabbatical from reading and occasionally contributing to these boards. I hope the unpleasantness is short-lived.

                                Searching around, the best deal I've found for the soon to be released , Songs by Britten, Ian Bostridge/Pappano, EMI, is at £9 99,post free, from the grocers. Probably takes a few more days for delivery but the offer is several pounds less than the competitors.

                                Real joy when the much discussed Schoenberg, Berg & Webern/Sinopoli, 8CD set, arrived this morning, debited at £3 66, post free. Motivated me to go and cut the grass without much ado - and even the sun shone bright!
