That very disc, and the Hyperion recording of the Piano Concerto (coupled with the - really quite terrible - Korngold left-hander) were lent* to me by a friend only last month. It's lovely Music: sort-of Delius' Paris composed by a pupil of Strauss, it occurred to me. Really enjoyable.

* - I have returned them both, since.

... I received the same note - but have put an order at jpc.de, - and it's on its way.

[... many thanks to hafod above for signalling this :

This MP Seller has now sold out. However, a virtually similar offer is available from JPC.

Do we know what kind of instrument(s) she plays on? Here's an example - http://open.qobuz.com/album/4260036250978 - doesn't sound like a Steinway or Fazioli, but is it an instrument with any claims to "authenticity" - whatever that is nowadays?

Does look like a nice set.

... she plays on a Bösendorfer Imperial Grand - so no claims to authenticity.

A pity...

Great offer. Just taken the plunge on this. The set should see me out.

This set was gobbled up by many of us in the forum 2/3 years ago for £12 from one of the European Amazons (France?). Can’t remember who found it and gave the heads-up.

Indeed, but as I said it doesn't sound like one of the other models. The playing seems for the most part very good.
Are there any similar sets but performed on (arguably) more appropriate instruments?

... it was our reliable and doughty hafod :

Amazon Italy has the 26cd box of CPE Bach's complete piano works by Ana-Marija Markovina on Haenssler for €11.25 - works out at at £15.54 delivered. The ASIN is B00IGJP0Q6.

A couple of other "possibles" - though I don't know if they are actually any good.

Helmuth Rilling - Selection - https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/det...n/hnum/3503141 12.99 euros

Gerhard Oppitz - Schubert Piano music - https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/det...2/hnum/5685846 19.99 euros

They only appear to get a 3 star rating on the jpc.de site, and I can't find any other reviews. Amazon have them, but at much higher prices.

Even more - just noticed - 50 CDs of choral type music - https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/det...e/hnum/6034256 49.99 euros - again I know nothing about ratings.

Simon Rattle and his soloists - https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/det...n/hnum/2149216 19.99 euros. This costs more in the UK.

There's also a 52 CD box of "The Birmingham Years" for 49.99 euros.

Also, there's more by Gerhard Oppitz, playing Beethoven.

I always get a bit excited when I see that hafod was the last to post in this thread!

If you prefer the harpsichord I'd recommend Bob van Asperen's 3 CD set including the Prussian and Wuerttemberg Sonatas on Das Alte Werk - Teldec.
