Very good price for a Hybrid SACD. Couldn't they do Elgar 1 and 2 on SACD at this price

Very good price for a Hybrid SACD. :

... indeed so. Such a shame it had to be Elgar

Hans Schmidt - Isserstedt's Beethoven Symphony cycle with the VPO....

This is an outstanding set. I'm surprised it has been 'unavailable' for so long. I say this, because I bought the box set (one of those neat card boxes with card sleeves, which are infinitely more user-friendly than the traditional fragile and cumbersome plastic things) some years ago from the shop near Notting Hill Gate tube station for a song, and I had been looking for it for a few years before that! Also has the piano concertos, violin concerto and a few overtures. Go for it if you like it... It is a bargain.

It's quite incredible what some asking prices are these days - I bought it at a very reasonable price when first reissued - it is good - but that good?

Mon dieu! We were very lucky..... and yes, I think it is 'that good' although if there is a slight lack, (for want of a better word) it is in the piano concertos; a bit inconsistent, I'd say.

I love how the p&p is £1.26 for an item costing over 600 quid. I'm not sure I'd put my faith in Royal Mail Second Class in that instance.

For £626, I'd want Beethoven conducting!

For £626, I'd want Beethoven conducting!

And playing the piano !

And playing the piano !

Plus a DVD of Beethoven demonstrating a few of his snooker trick shots, frankly

Or at least bagatelles!

On further inspection, Sainsbury's appear to be the place to go for quite a few of the EMI Icons series - low prices and all include postage & packing

I note they also have Naxos @£3-99 including p & p. I think this is the cheapest around?

I have most of the Cat Stevens. Very fine indeed! Try his 'Foreigner Suite'
