    Did AmpH spot the Szeryng?

    Then, in the words of Simon Gray, 'Thanks. I owe you more than I can say.' :)

          Not a boxed set that tempts me (way too many duplications of discs I already have) but amazon.it are currently offering the Complete DG recordings of Mauricio Pollini for just under £96, including p&p to the UK.

            The Sinopoli 16 cd box turned up today ( ordered from Amazon UK, despatched from Italy).

            Looking foward to hearing the discs, currently sampling with the Elgar, but as a set it wouldn’t win any prizes for presentation, would it?

            Not confident about ever getting the Szeryng box though. Still due March 9th, but the set isn't listed on amazon.com at all now.

                It's listed as temporarily out of stock though - but perhaps worth a punt nevertheless.

                  The Sinopoli box is excellent. The only pity is that it doesn't include his best Bruckner (5 and 8) or his excellent Elgar 1

                    Pick and Mix Boxes showcasing a conductor were ever so!

                        Much recommended!

                        An even greater bargain was release a few months ago. I thought we had discussed it at the time but can't find the relevant thread. Anyway, there's a box of 16 Café Zimmermann CDs (including the 6 Bach discs from the box quoted) for a little under £36. Even if you already have the earlier box, that's still only £3.59 a disc, pro rata, for the rest.

                            The Box is £32.81 from Presto, which has a listing of the pieces. I don’t know how delivery costs would affect the final price. Presto also have some of the smaller boxes at what look like reasonable prices - an offer until April.

                            At the end of this, are the additional pieces on the 16 CD box worthwhile?

                              I'd say that everything by this group should be snapped up without delay at such a great price.

                                Good find, and there is no charge for 2nd Class Post with Presto. I seem to have failed order it last autumn, but with the current offer, it really is not to be missed. Can someone comment on what sort of textual material comes with the box? It's not available for download from QOBUZ, by the way.
