There look to be some tempting bits, like the Mossolov.

It's not always a scam to have orchestras and performers appearing under different names. Is the "scam" mentioned here on the same level as Hattogate?
One of the performers mentioned in the debunking post seems to be a decent pianist - Dubravka Tomsic - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scarlatti-So...eywords=Tomsic It is possible to find some of her performances on Spotify - though often in monster collections of short bits put together.Last edited by Dave2002; 23-03-14, 10:45.

I'm not sure whether the "thanks" here are for a green light, or an "avoid" signal. I'd say that if you really think you'd like Tavener's works then the box is a reasonable buy, but if you're not so sure then maybe listen to some Tavener before plunging in. Also depends whether you find £15 a trivial amount or not. There is also a Decca CD which thinks it's "Essential" - http://open.spotify.com/track/72VonxOMPRfuUTb0PWCuxT
I happen to like some of Tavener's work - though whether I'd want a lot of it is another matter.
Did you go for the packaged Naxos set?

I am assuming from the listings that it is quality stuff.
It had better be......
Edit: I'm almost intrigued enough to try that Russian 40 CD set, given the odd interesting item....but not quite, even at around £12.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
