Which reminds me that my order from that source, although dispatched (allegedly) nearly a week ago, has still not arrived. Anybody received theirs?

They must have fixed it. no bargains showing on this side of the pond

Looking at the user comments on the UK site and the dates they were written suggests that the Haydn operas, with a missing Act, have been available cheaply for some time, and one of the commentators had even contacted Apple/iTunes about it. I don't know whether the price has now reverted, but I believe my download worked OK.

PS: just checked - still low price in the UK I think.There are several different versions, and some are indeed at higher prices. This is the one - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/ha...as/id322950869 at £7.99.

I have ordered from this seller recently hafod and it took quite a while to arrive. When it did it was well-packed and from Greensburg PA, not UK at all, hence the delay I guess

Mozart: Complete Sonatas Maria Joao Pires - the 1974 Denon recording. £12.

Perhaps some wise owl can suggest whether this or her more expensive DG recording is preferable.

Wise owls seem to have flown. I notice there is a review on Amazon suggesting that sound quality is poor on the Brilliant set. I too would be interested in any advice on this.

No yet, and given their delivery estimate of 28 Nov 2012 - 19 Dec 2012 I am not expecting it particularly soon. Apparently the carrier is DHL.

Thanks, robk. I expect they're too busy ordering 100-CD box sets. ("Saucer of milk, table 2!")

The Lester Scarlatti mp3 CD set arrived today. Currently auditioning Disc 1 and finding myself in strong agreement with Mark Sealey's reviews. Good recordings of delightfully presented performances. Now looking forward to the arrival of the Belder set for comparison, complement, (I already have the Ross and am not planning of parting with it).

[MickyD]

I think you will find Belder's set very enjoyable, Bryn...it is the most amazing bargain on Arkiv at the moment.

Thanks Am51, Madame S and Bryn for your helpful responses . I must try to be more patient and also read the dispatch notes more carefully.

Here's a snip: Romantic Piano Quintets. The Trout + little-known works on 4 CDs. The fortepiano and gut strings sound great. Good value in this very pleasant and unfamiliar repertoire.

Gurnemanz - many thanks for the tip. I've heard the Nepomuk quintet on their Onslow disc and liked it a lot. Clearly have to get this bargain!
