Yes, the complete NYPO DeC appears to be on disc 1. I don't see anything there I have not already got.

Even more bizarre.
Why not have the Melodies CD as it came out originally, and appears in the box set?

The only thing I don't have is the D+C suite. Think I can live without that! Still annoyed that the two small items got left out of the big box!

I have one more missing item - the Scheherazade with HH. My CD of the melodies has Roussel Sym 3 as a coupling.

It appears to be on disc 5, or were you indicating that the recording was one you did not already have but which was in the set?

The latter - so purchase of the new box for two items is not very viable.

Yes, that was a later release, I think, though why Sheherezade got dropped and replaced I don't know.
Something contractual, perhaps? HH's Berg songs have also taken a long time to resurface; the box might be their first appearance on CD in fact.
The big box contains the original song couplings, as in that link provided above.
It's a great version of Sheherezade, imo!

That is bad news. I've bought quite a few downloads from them in the past and it has been a very useful site.

The website still seems to be functioning as normal (including the usual subscription offers!).

Is it like a tanker aiming for the rocks?

I've just had an email from Qobuz which has a selection of Mozart recordings - no sign of anything wrong yet. Maybe we won't know until it crashes.

Amazon.de have the Karajan Opera Box on DG (70CDs) for EUR 80 plus p&p. It's a limited offer, so hurry!

It seems to require one to subscribe to Amazon Prime...
