    I tried so hard to resist this but at £11.95 plus postage it is too good to miss. I have succumbed.

      I see that Emma Kirkby's legendary recording of the Handel Nine German Arias on EMI Reflexe as was has turned up on Erato at bargain price - Presto are selling it for £5 .

      Quite one of the most wonderful Handel records I know . Not sure if only Presto have copies Amazon are selling the same reissue for £50.73 !

          Is that the same as this one, or something else? - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Handel-Germ...+kirkby+Handel This one is under £8.

          Looks like it is. I’m looking for something to bump up an amazon order, so even though it costs a pound or two more, this might save some postage and comes with the mp3 downloads (otherwise I would go for cheaper options).

            Opéra Baroque: Harmonia Mundi - 19 Operas 39CD+3DVD+CDROM - €36.90 (£39.23 delivered) If you need any more encouragement other than price, then you either have significant duplication issues with this box or you don't really like baroque opera.

              Yes the same recording just the earlier EMI release. I wore out a cassette and an LP

                Just received updated dispatch and delivery date for the Schumann sets. Should now be dispatched next Thursday and here in a week's time. I note that since ordering the price has indeed increased, but only to £5.63.

                  Is it another R Strauss box? I have just received a message detaching the other item on my order for quicker delivery.

                      Dave, yes, it's the same recording, but I remember for some strange reason, that the CD came out with two different versions of the cover. The one I have is different, in the old Reflexe format, with a nice 18th century portrait of a lady on the front.

                        Yes that was on my cassette and then the picture of Emma Kirkby and the members of London Baroque was on the LP

                          Just a quick question though - did anyone receive it?

                            I think one of us made a complaint but the rest of us just shrugged and let it go. I think if one had been delivered, we'd know about it.

                              I think someone took the time to complain about it to Amazon, but not sure if to any avail!
                              PS: (Ah: Conchis got in first!)

                                Any signs of movement on that ultra bargain Richter box ?
