    Soler Sonatas for harpsichord Vol 3 - Naxos - Gilbert Rowland - Oxfam £2.99

    Already had volume 5.

    Have had a soft-spot for Soler since the 80s when R3 had a programme comparing and contrasting Soler and Scarlatti.
    ... I enjoy Soler a lot (tho' he's no Scarlatti... ) ; I have the Rowland set on naxos, wh I found a bit disappointing. You might like to investigate the series with Pieter-Jan Belder on brilliant, which I found much more congenial. Four double-CDs so far - and they're not expensive ...

    Buy Harpsichord Sonatas Volume 1 (Belder) by A. Soler, Pieter-Jan Belder from Amazon's Classical Music Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

        cheaper than a macdonalds super saver. And likely a good deal better for you.

        Can't resist that. Cheers Ferney.
        Downloading right now.

          ... how complete is it?

          Gilbert Rowland took 13 CDs to cover the harpsichord sonatas - I have a feeling Belder, with 8CDs, may have given up his trajectory mid-way. Somewhere here I have a list of all the Soler works and the performances; I will have to check, but I have a foreboding...

            ... have checked. Still another seventy five or so sonatas not yet recorded / released by Belder.

            I note that on the cover of the CD set it proclaims "Keyboard Sonatas" - and on the illustration for the mp3 version it claims "Complete Keyboard sonatas" - a blatant untruth . .

                Thanks so much for pointing up the Ogden box. I've been waiting and hoping for a price like this. It says currently out of stock, so here's hoping they honor the price! Fingers crossed...

                  At that price hardly worth adding another £19 worth of stuff to get "free" p&p. Works out around 80p per CD with postage.

                    This box is at number 15 in the classical best sellers list so a number of people have taken advantage of the price which I see is now £22 so the pricing algorithm has clearly kicked in. The 'tempoarily out of stock' moniker is still displayed and my experience is that when this happens the low price is, more often than not, honoured. The exception is usually when the low price has been advertised for a long time (this one I think was only around a day or two) and larger numbers of orders have been placed. (I paid £17 new for my copy from a marketplace seller a month ago and am enjoying it hugely).

                    So, quietly optimistic.........

                            Celibidache box sets going cheap at amazon, but you'll need to buy 2 to get free postage.

                                By Petrushka, in fact, hafod. Is anyone else having difficulty finding this release on Amazon? Every combination of "Tenstedt" "Beethoven" "Pastoral" "6" "Klaus" "Live" "Egmont" "LSO" etc keeps taking me either to the studio version (in its many manifestations) or to some expansive recordings with other orchestras.
