Bargains

Many thanks for pointing this out - Ed Gardner in Lutoslawski a bit of a steal at that price (we won't mention Sir Andrew Davis ......)

Thanks for the heads up.

It seems that Qobuz also have 30% off across all their Chandos CD quality downloads list until 19th May, making the price €8.39 per CD. Not as good a bargain as the Chandos 24 bit downloads but still worthwhile.

Although at the mp3 price, even if you have the Dvorak already, you still get the 2 Janacek, 2 Smetana and 7 Martinu quartets (5 virtual discs) for £7.50 which is still pretty cheap!

The CD box is cheaper here - http://www.selections.com/czech-stri...ets-15cds.html - currently under £20.

I have a similar, perhaps larger, Dvorak box, so the issue is whether the Martinu quartets are worth the cost of the download (possibly) or yet another box (probably not). For anyone who doesn't have something similar already, the Selections offering is good value. There will probably be overlap with some Dvorak boxes from the same or similar sources.

Good spot Dave.
The Dvorak quartets are surely the same as in the Brilliant 40 cd set ?

at £20 it looks great value.
Think I will download and rip though.....

Isn't that a reverse rip?

I know that mine has been dispatched so hopefully it will arrive on Monday.

Probably !!
I just like having a physical copy, whatever the jargon is !!

You just want to burn and go!

I expect so.
Time saving technology is for those with plenty of time to spare in the first place......

I've had mine for a couple of weeks now.

In the meantime, there are a few good things in this Selections clearout - http://www.selections.com/reduced-to...sic-clearance/

Messiaen, Richter, maybe Tirimo (he's good). It's also worth getting the printed catalogue. Currently they have Reger works for £23. http://www.selections.com/reger-collection-11cds.html

Last 10 days of some promotions at MDT, including many Apex double albums at £5.75. Some excellent stuff there.

At that price, aka Ams 51 and the temptation highlighted by him too difficult to resist. Duly pre-ordered - so much for saving up for the Britten box. I will now have a spare copy of the Fleisher Beethoven/Brahms box to spare if anyone wants it in due course
