Strauss operas for around £12 - 10 CDs conducted by Karl Böhm - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...44681091_em_ti
No detailed listing of what's on the 10 CDs as yet - though said to contain Ariadne auf Naxos, Elektra, Die Frau ohne Schatten, and Daphne, as well as selections from Salome, Arabella, and Capriccio.
A set relased earlier, a few months ago has Rosenkavalier, Die Schweigsame Frau, Arabella and Capriccio.
The recordings will be old, though some of the performances, according to reviews, may be excellent - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Strauss-Comp...NHHWQNC3P52P9X
Also check MDT and Presto which might be competitive in pricing for this second set.e.g
The final price may be determined by the postage charges.Last edited by Dave2002; 27-02-14, 07:00.

Originally posted by Rolmill View PostI would say it certainly is a bargain Dave. I have three of the five original releases (one of the others is a 2-disc set, hence six CDs in this box) and play them regularly. Pluhar and her group frequently achieve an addictive mix of infectious and haunting, not least in the opening track of the Landi disc (the Passacaglia della vita) which I love. The music is well off the beaten track and performances and music are very fine, so if you are tempted - don't hesitate!

Bach Deluge
There are three complete JSB Bach collections: Brilliant Classics, Hanssler and Warner (on USB stick). All three may fairly be considered bargains. I would, however, welcome advice on which would be the one to plump for.

When I see the name 'Hafod' in the bargains thread, I feel that little frisson of excitement about what new wonder has been ferreted out by our Capo di Capi of bargain-finders. So, many thanks again, Hafod, for this amazing bargain.

Just listening to the overture to Nabucco as a pipe opener for an evening of live folk rock.
Cheers Hafod , and happy listening Verdi fans!!I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.
