    Is the Stephen Kovacevich set of Beethoven sonatas (9 CDs) for around £15 am.uk a good buy or not?
    I rather like his playing, on the whole.

      Do not hesitate. Well, it probably won't matter too much if you do. That's about what I paid for it on 'pre-order' a few months ago. You won't regret it, whenever.

          And this time I do not have the mobile phone to blame. I was using a laptop.

              Mine's due tomorrow,and as it goes I am staying in, as I am working at home tomorrow. Does anybody know if this set is actually any good ?

              Anyway, Bryn's moths made me laugh.

              ( I wonder if they like the new plastic notes ?)

                          Picked up my boxes this morning. As usual with la dolce volta, beautifully presented indeed. Played on a Yamaha CFX. Yet to listen to any. I note she omits the pedal piano works due to the unavailability of an appropriate instrument. Good decision not to play arrangements for standard piano, but a pity nonetheless that they are missing.

                            Good info there Bryn.

                            You should be able to pay for Xmas if you did your usual bulk purchase and put them on marketplace.....
