            Unlike their equivalent European Choral Music set (5 CDs), which I also have: £50.43!

                  Very much looking forward to this box, recordings that escaped me in the past.

                      Now I can't even remember if I've had that one!

                      I probably saved about £35. I found my box, but it claims only 34 CDs. Is the issue here significantly different?
                      Mine is a Warner box. I think there are only 34 CDs even in the box as shown on Amazon, which sports an almost, but not quite identical, box and layout, with possibly only very minor textual changes re the pieces and contents of the CDs.

                      At one time I had several Scarlatti boxes, including the one which for some reason was encoded/compressed - was that a Nimbus recording?

                        I the think the "36" might have been a typo. The Amazon page linked to says "34". I paid approximately the same in an amazon.de promotion 2 years ago.

                            My order was supposedly delivered today. I say "supposedly" because only 4 fo the 8 discs were sent (CDs 5 to 8). The price may have been very low but there was no indication that it was only half of the set. Return and refund demand duly sent to "OnlineMusicFilmsGames" via amazon.co.uk.

                              That's unlucky Bryn. My set was delivered late last week, complete and in good condition - thanks to MickyD for the tip. I've listened to a couple of the discs so far (Byrd 3 part mass and Taverner motets) and really like the choral sound, it's a terrific bargain.

                                Duly ordered - another item to give my wife for inclusion in my Christmas stocking! Thanks for the heads up on this, that's a great price.

                                This thread is costing me a small fortune!
