Both have now leapt in price.

You’ll have to let me know what I missed - since I didn’t bother. Too much Mendelssohn could be, well, too much!

[Conchis]

Probably a blessing I missed the Solti deal - too much duplication and I'm runing out of space to put these things!

That's how I rationalised my failed attempt to order. However I will be at the front of the queue of any successful acuiresr of the set who have any duplications which fill any of my gaps!

Isn’t that what ebay is for?

Happy to report mine is on its way. Sent from Ridgmont, Bedfordshire at 7 minutes past midnight this morning.

[Although there are 108 CDs, some have rather short playing times. Disc 3, for instance, has less than 16 minutes!]

The Solti box arrived shortly after midday. Yet again the Amazon Logistics deliverer simply knocked on the front door, left the package on the doorstep and drove off within the 30 seconds or so it took me to get downstairs and open the door. A complaint to amazon.co.uk wil again be lodged.

The box was very well packaged and is a step up from those used for the DG Karajan Opera, '60s, '70, '80s etc. sets. In place of their soft-back book there is a lavish hard-back which even has silver edges to the pages. The box is slightly oblong in plan, as against the square base of the Karajan sets. Very impressive. What a bargain (it was)!

You're milking this Bryn!

Can't help you. I cancelled my order. I did not think many of the recordings in the set would vie well against those I already have. While there are some Mendelssohn works I am very fond of, I don't feel much of a need to add further alternative recordings.

I was in time for the Solti, set up the order, then bottled it at the last minute.

That was some bargain! Full marks Nethersage.

And the Bruckner discs include Die Nulte

And the Bruckner discs include Die Nulte

Solti's CSO Bruckner discs turn up reasonably frequently in charity shops.

His VPO Bruckner recordings, briefly reissued on Ovation, are much harder to find, in my experince, though I think the 7th may have been reiussed by Eloquence.

It being Black Friday, Amazon France are doing a 3CDs for €15 deal. No idea what the postage would be to the UK but there are some good bargains to be found, if you don't mind scrolling through about 40 pages of CDs. Filtering by price is possible - and by format - but patience is needed. The discount only works in multiples of three - and is shown at the last page before you click the button to place the order. Anyway, see:

https://www.amazon.fr/gp/promotion/AONVQ6U2JUW2U/ref=gbps_img_m-5_71c3_0c8864fe?smid=A1X6FK5RDHNB96&pf_rd_p=d4c2a0b1-93f5-4f9a-9ad8-1764bbad71c3&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=8372000031&pf_rd_m=A1X6FK5RDHNB96&pf_rd_r=8QTV2AVS25PCEYYBBY5W

and click Musique Classique. It includes stuff like the box of Kubelik's Dvorak symphonies, Frans Brüggen's Schubert symphonies, Keilberth's Ring (probably in some dodgy transfer but 12 CDs for €5 isn't bad) and a good smattering of 20th century pieces - Feldman, Tristan Murail, Lachenmann and so on. In fact, something for everyone.
