jpc have just sent me a 10% discount code and I have used it to take the plunge with the enticing and controversial Bruckner symphonies set from Mario Venzago on cpo which was much discussed on this board. I had already noticed they were selling it for Euro 49.99 and put it in the basket. (Amazon £68, Presto £89). The discount more less makes it post free so I'm paying about £43.

It's easy to forget that there are some good bargains to be had both new and s/h on ebay.Originally posted by Bryn View PostDel boy: “Get in, get out, don’t look back. That’s my motto!”Comment

It comes in a huge box, with lots of foam packing. If you order other CDs as well, make sure to search the packaging. Other CDs might get missed in the polystyrene.Originally posted by hafod View Post
Are those Naxos Schubert lieder CDs mentioned above any good?
Lastly, if anyone does order from jpc.de, I still recommend the single Telemann disc with the flute and recorder concerto played by Il Rossignolo - https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/det...o/hnum/5848029 - though the price seems to have risen recently. Might be available elsewhere though.Comment

Cheaper via amazon.co.uk marketplace (£5.21 including p&p for a new copy).Originally posted by Dave2002 View PostComment

Thanks. A few weeks ago it was as cheap IIRC at jpc.de. The other suggestions for purchases (msg 6485) from jpc seem good, though I've probably got some or similar already, or don't want them. It's definitely a site worth looking at though, and probably does have the lowest price for the Mozart box right now. I'm still trying to figure whether I really "need" a bumper box of Schubert songs.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment

Agreed concerning the general situation re. jpc. It's just that since you mentioned a lower earlier price I made a quick check of alternative suppliers. I hovered over the order button at ebay where the Schubert box is concerned, then decided I to 'make do' with the various recordings of the major cycles and other songs I already have, including the 21 disc Fischer-Dieskau box:Originally posted by Dave2002 View Post

Probably only worth getting of you are a Lieder fan - which I am. I commented recently as part of the Schubert lieder book thread:Originally posted by Dave2002 View Post
"In the meantime I have also acquired the Naxos Complete set which can be picked up very cheaply. Well worth getting in addition to Hyperion with many hits and only a few disappointments. There are different, less well-known singers in there to get to know - all native German speakers. Fortepiano is used on five of the 38 discs. No song texts but a 400 page booklet with very detailed notes, mostly by the set's accompanist and project leader, Ulrich Eisenlohr."
The texts are on an extra CD.
jpc are always good for cpo discs, usually a fair bit cheaper than eleswhere. (It is their inhouse label). I mentioned the Venzago Bruckner discs above.
From the byways of the lied repertoire I have also acquired:
5CD Pfitzner set
The doorstopping 21CD Loewe complete edition - great value and brilliantly done
A fine Marx disc from Angelika KirchschlagerComment

Thanks for your comments. I am I suspect not so much of a lieder or singing fan as you are, but nevertheless this does seem as though it could be worthwhile. Songs/lieder are not my preferred genre of classical music, but having said that there are some beautiful works which are worth knowing - not just Schubert. I am very fond of some works by Strauss in particular, though other music with voices I have on CD or elsewhere includes RVW - various other English songs (Shropshire Lad etc.) - Schumann and Mahler. I have also enjoyed live performances including humorous pieces, such as some by Richard Rodney Bennet.Originally posted by gurnemanz View PostComment

A quick follow up - I'd never heard much (anything) about Joseph Marx before, but I found this http://open.qobuz.com/track/1397108
Marie-Paule Milone (mezzo)
22 Lieder : Leuchtende tage
The whole CD might be worth investigating.Comment

Couldn’t get that link to open. I bought this CD in 2010, IIRC. Not listened to it very much, but it’s pretty good music.Originally posted by Dave2002 View Post
