Sainsbury's are also very good for Naxos (usually £3.99 per disc)

A nifty tip, Parry1912 - many thanks

[EdgeleyRob]

Yep! And, looking on the bright side, think of all the space we'll be saving.

I've already bought another shelf !!!

alpha are bringing out later this month a box set of the 6 CDs of the cafe Zimmermann Bach multiple instrument concertos.
A reasonable price on amazon.uk - cheaper and sooner on amazon.fr - even cheaper than that on amazon.de

Much recommended!

Thanks for that: ordered just now from Am.de, for £24.40, inc postage. A bargain indeed - I very much like what I've heard of Cafe Zimmerman so far.

ELGAR Sir Adrian Boult Conducts 5CDs

from Selections at £9.99. Are they Essential?

A month or so back a complete set of Wagner operas from Bayreuth was recommended as a download from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wagner-Great.../dp/B001RTYRZM

I downloaded these, but when playing back on iTunes on an iMac using Mac OS X there seem to be some glitches at the end of some tracks. Is this fixable? Is it worth complaining to Amazon, or do I need to do something else to avoid this problem. At the price I suppose I could live with it, but it is a shame. I've had other downloads without incurring this problem before, though I did use different equipment - and the works may have been more tolerant of gaps - e.g between movements. Götterdämmerung suffers at least slightly from this problem.

After watching the marvellous Rostropvich documentary last week I ordered the Rostropovich/Guilini Dvorak/Saint-Saens DVD from Sendit.com for the silly price of £5.99.

I believe, but I'm not sure, the audio on the DVD is identical to the HMV 'Great Recordings of the Century' CD.

Amazon mp3 site has http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sibelius-Com...PCFF1NDWHKP4C8 Osmo Vanska and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra in the complete Sibelius Symphonies, Violin Concerto and Karelia suite for £5.99. Or £5 as part of the 2 for £10 offer. These are great versions and have now found their way onto my i-pod.

Alfen Symphony No 4 - Amazon mp3 download for £0.69!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Symphony-No-4/dp/B002N985CG/ref=pd_sim_dmusic_a9

Never heard any of his music but £0.69 is such a trivial amount.


Also Schnabel playing all Beethoven Piano Sonatas for £4.99 (Amazon mp3 download)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Beethoven-Piano-Sonatas/dp/B002KHLCGC/ref=pd_sim_dmusic_a30

No idea what the remastering is like, but at this price the risk is worth taking.

Popped into HMV Oxford Street yesterday and picked up Wilhelm Furtwangler: the Great EMI Recordings 21 CD set for £36!!

Fortunately, I have very little duplication so very pleased with this. Loads of other bargains as well.

Blimey Petrushka! - well done!

Did you notice if they had a fair few of the Furtwangler set, perchance?

Don't forget the Amazon Marketplace which, at the time of posting, can do better than this. I have bought new without any problems includung this Furtwangler box a few weeks ago for £29.99. Saves a costly journey to London.

There were a few yes but not piles of them. If this set takes your fancy it's well worth a bus ride from Willesden Green, Am51!

I was in London for the Lucerne/Abbado concert so was there anyway but for anyone not in London, Hafod points the way and at a slightly cheaper price, too.
