      Not sure if I or maybe someone else has already posted this:
      Un Siecle de Musique Francaise - A Century of French Music: jpc have the 25cd set for €20


      And there is this old friend from days of yore resurfacing even more cheaply.

          While on jpc, I've just received this 3 disc set of Schumann supplements to the music magazine he published in Leipzig - kind of pre-recording cover discs. Really interesting and something a bit different to investigate if it's your thing. At a silly 2.99 Euro (£29 on Amazon), it could be added to another order. Review here. I also got the Beerman Schumann Symphonies.

            ...and still on jpc, I have just taken a punt and ordered this:

            Die CD Ludwig van Beethoven: Konzerte / Ouvertüren / Fidelio / Messen jetzt portofrei kaufen. Mehr von Ludwig van Beethoven gibt es im Shop.


            La Discotheque Ideale de Diapason Vol.V - Beethoven concertos, masses and Fidelio, all in historic performances (some with multiple versions) - 13 CDs for EUR 9.99. It looked like an unmissable bargain, but does anyone have any knowledge of this series, or of this particular set, e.g. regarding quality of sound, presentation etc?

              Now gone up in price substantially!

              Linked to from the same page is this though - https://www.amazon.fr/Grand-Piano-Lo.../dp/B075Y9GBTC
              (here I've linked to the French page which is about the same price).

              It's around £20 from am.uk - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grand-Piano.../dp/B075Y9GBTC - but a pretty useless listing as neither the pieces nor the performers are listed properly. I think it's possible to guess some of the pieces though - CD 1 is obviously the Goldberg Variations - but the performer?

                    Yes, and it is a very big and beautiful thing. But I think you've picked up ts's note a little late as it seems to be only at the high price now!

                        Looks like you just caught the last copy. As regards informing 'she who must be obeyed' I waited for the delivery and it worked out fine.

                          Great Stuff. Don't forget to order yourself a Lazy Susan to park it on.

                            When I returned from work about half an hour ago, the was a card on the mat announcing that a package too large for the letterbox would be awaiting collection from the delivery (formerly sorting) office in the morning. My guess is that it's my birchwood Lazy Susan. I will report back on its relative efficacy once I have picked it up and installed it.

                            [Just installed it. Perfect for the job. I got this one, but there is a cheaper one of the slightly smaller size, made of hevea wood, which would suit.]

                                I received an email from amazon.it this morning which was promoting the Sony Harnoncourt 64 CDs + 1 DVD boxed set. Their price is €114.14, which did not seem much of a bargain as big boxes go. I had a look around the various European Amazon sites and found that amazon.de was offering the set for €89.99 but with the provision that it was not available for dispatch to the U.K. However, I did not at first spot the restriction and went ahead and initiated the order. To my surprise the price shown at the check-out stage had risen by €0.75. Once p&p was added the total in U.K. currency was £89.32, but the order appears to have been accepted for dispatch to my U.K. address. Others might be interested.
