Bargains

[Dave2002]

Oh, I don't know. £3.50 plus p&p isn't that bad, surely?

The used copies seem more reasonable!

Currently listening to the Hoffmeister B flat clarinet concerto from the Lost Baroque Bundle mentioned in the mp3 freebies in post 8352.
Pleasant background music - definitely worth having by anyone who is not completely averse to mp3s. I don't think you even have to put in a credit card number to get the free copy. I don't know who wrote the Notturno which is track 11 in that collection - is there an easy way to find out?

[Dave2002]

My page at the river people shows that visitors to that page also viewed the "Collectors Edition" of Nos 1-13 (Complete?) at a more reasonable price (at the moment) of £25.83.

Looking for books on Abebooks, it seemed (not done it recently...) there is always someone, often in the mid states of the US, listing a copy at a wildly inflated price.....

I think you can get the Myiaskovsky string quartet set from WHSmith for £20.99 - https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/n...B&gclsrc=aw.ds

Are they worth having?

I think it's this one - https://www.discogs.com/Louis-Ferdin...lease/16511367 by a composer I've never heard of Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Louis_Ferdinand_of_Prussia_(1772%E2%80%931806)

The Notturno is actually quite long - over 21 minutes.-

Last year I downloaded the Myaskovsky complete symphonies with Svetlanov for £7.99. A great bargain if you don't mind mp3 and dividing up the 86 files into more manageable chunks for better access. Also contains a booklet, especially useful since the works are not generally familiar.

Been there done that - great value - how could they not be with (Y)Evgeny at the helm!

Dave - I didn’t know WHS still did CDs, thought they were too busy being Post Offices!

I didn't know about WHS either, but I was looking for Russian CDs - also Taneyev chamber music, and WHS came up in the search. Checking shows that they are cheap for some Russian works right now compared with am.uk

I came across Trevor Pinnock's Handel complete orchestral recordings at Presto, recommended versions which filled some gaps for me. A bargain download for 11Cds worth at MP3 £8.89 or FLAC £11.11

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Oh dear...I've already got Van Oort and Brautigam, but I bet this set is good, too.

That's what I thought too.

In the meantime the people at ClassicSelect are still notifying me of freebies. I did buy quite a number of their mp3 downloads a year or two back, and I've probably got some of the freebie mp3s already, but since we have a new computer it's easy to get a new download this way - saves having to transfer files.

It's a collection of Guitar music this week - if anyone is interested I'll post the link later.

What, no Luvimov?

[MickyD]

What, no Luvimov?

Ah no, that's another cycle that's escaped me! How fortunate we are to have so many terrific sets available.
