Maybe some posters here "with influence" can work their magic! -
There are Japanese reissures available but ¥¥¥ sadly. You can get the 8th on Naxos Classical Archive cheaply via emusic.Originally posted by cloughie View PostComment

but I would like 5 8 and 9 - there is also a set of Brahms Syms he did on Philips in the 50s shortly before he died.Comment

With Bruckner please note that there's a cheap live 4th here.
(There's also a live Schubert 9 from the same label.)
And don't forget the live Bruckner 8 on Tahra is different to the Philips recording.Comment

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!Originally posted by teamsaint View Post
I was caught out by this: it seems as if there are four of the finest ever recordings from the '50s of these works, but they're heavily abridged and cut in the most annoying way - not just the traditional theatrical cuts that appear on the originals - Act One Finales suddenly stop half-way through and Arias and Duets featuring on the originals are dropped! (To "compensate", every last syllable of the German dialogue is included on the Zauberflote - spoken by very "actory" voices that sound nothing like the singers playing the same role; but that, of course, was a feature of the original release.) There is, I suppose, a good selection of "Highlights" from the works here, but even at this price, probably the most frustrating purchase I've ever made of an MP3 Download.
Better to get the individual issues at a couple of quid each (sound's a bit boxy, but super performances that haven't been "surpassed".)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

The Rachmaninov could still be worth having, though, and there's a similarly priced set of Beethoven piano sonatas played by Schnabel. I think some of those Mozart operas, or similar versions - hopefully without the damage, can be had from CMM (Classical Music Mobile) for 1 euro each.Comment

Oh yes; I've got some outstanding bargains from this source (in addition to the Schnabel Beethoven Sonatas - which lacks Op110! - there is also Kempff's first cycle in decent sound for £3.99) - most recently the complete Glazunov Symphonies for £2.99! Genuine and astonishing bargains: but "Mozart's Best Operas" ain't one of 'em, even at £1.09.Originally posted by Dave2002 View Post
You're right - someone else gave this a "nudge" earlier. They are, I believe, as "complete" as the original issues.I think some of those Mozart operas, or similar versions - hopefully without the damage, can be had from CMM (Classical Music Mobile) for 1 euro each.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

ah well, having avoided the Mozart as suggested, I went mad and downloaded the Rach, and am currently enjoying some the Etude -Tableaux courtesy of Mr Lugansky.
Downloading and burning as time consuming as ever, but I reckon it will be a quid well spent !I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Many thanks for locating this tremendous bargain.

The 15cd Essential Sibelius from BIS can be had as a download for £7.99.
I have this excellent box on cd but as a download luddite I have no idea whether mp3 is adequate but the price in comparison with the discs looks a steal. Full contents (assuming the download is identical to the cd box) below:
