Bargains

[Dave2002]

HMV - for example in Kingston, has some Decca, Philips, DG twofers for £5.99.

Some good examples - Sibelius symphonies - Colin Davis, Boston SO
Brahms quartets and piano quintet - Takacs Quartet
Weill - Berliner Requiem and Violin concerto

Not a vast selection, but a few good things.

Also Naxos - 2 for £10, but only a limited selection.

Much obliged, hafod.

Much obliged, hafod.

Encore!

[Beef Oven!]

Many thanks, hafod. Irresistible!

[MLF]

Good Lord, Hafod! I just bought the Brilliant Classics edition (for the Leusink Cantatas) but this is a steal. A decimal point in the wrong place, surely?

[Stunsworth]

Thanks for the Bach Cantatas, now ordered.

After that bargain my latest find doesn't seem so good!

63 CDs worth of the complete Fritz Reiner, Chicago Symphony Orchestra recordings on RCA as a download from Qobuz for 49 Euros...

This is unbelievable! My local cd shop had them for £120!

Thanks for this.

Must admit, I am pretty much expecting the standard communication from Amazon.fr advising that the price was in error and the transaction not completed, as per their terms and conditions. Still, one can but hope.

Is that their form? I didn't know that.

Wait and see, I suppose.

It varies. Some you win, and some you lose. I have experienced both re. Amazon. If it's a genuine error, you can't really expect them to complete the contract by issuing a notification of dispatch.

Not in the same 'bargain' league as the Bach cantatas above......

Ok. I've had a fair few mistake-price items, usually box sets, and they've always come through. Hope you haven't put the mockers on this

Agreed - my experience too. I have 'won' more than I have 'lost' and, unlike betting, you don't lose your stake money. Proceed on the basis of 'nothing ventured, nothing gained and nothing lost' - it tempers any disappointment.

Great bargain. I'll be curious to see if they honour it. I would have joined in if I hadn't got them via the Teldec USB stick which appeared last year. A novelty, for sure, and not a bad bargain at £95 for complete Bach.
