Not everyone around here agrees! I've only listened to one of the CDs so far.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post

I DLed the RIAS download a couple of days back - some of that is worth hearing.
In the meantime I've already listened to four CDs from the living stereo box - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Living-Stere...=Living+Stereo which arrived recently, and after the Sinopli box.
The Julian Bream CD is very good, though why it hasn't been possible (did anyone check) to remove or reduce the constant hum on some of the tracks on that disc I don't know. I have tried hum removal myself on occasions, and it can work very well, though if overdone kills the sound.
The box is larger than expected, and heavier. It's got rubber padding inside. Quite good, but may not fit so easily on typical shelves. It will upset those who like standardish size CDs and boxes.Comment

I had forgotten how cheap music is to buy these days. I remember shopping around in the early 90s for Karajan's Bruckner cycle, and finally got it at a knock-down price of £65!!! It was about £75 in Oxford Street, back then.

I can reinforce your point even more strikingly. Checked my past orders at Amazon. In 2009 I got the 38CD Karajan Complete Symphonies for £32.27. Seems to be out of print now.Originally posted by Beef Oven View PostComment

Spotted today that Yondani Butt's Glazunov 6 is available from Selections for £1.50. http://www.selections.com/glazunov-symphony-6.html P & p would push the price up a bit, but they have other things worth checking out, so the postage costs could be spread out. One that they have is the 10 CD Tallis set for £14.99 - http://www.selections.com/tallis-c-te-works-10cds.htmlOriginally posted by Dave2002 View Post
Their catalogue booklet which I still get from time to time has quite a number of cheap or interesting things right now.Comment

The Georg Schumann CDs are worth having.Originally posted by Parry1912 View Post
Napster subscribers can find them, but Spotify only has the Symphony. The piano trios are definitely worth a punt.Comment

I've not come across Vivace Classical before. Any reports?Originally posted by Kees View Post"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

I didn't think I had either until I found that I was already registered with them! I then realised that they appear to be Arkiv Europe in another guise. I received an email this morning to say that they had dispatched my order in its entirety.Originally posted by Petrushka View PostDel boy: “Get in, get out, don’t look back. That’s my motto!”Comment

I seem to recall some negative reports about Arkiv Europe on here. However, your experience so far looks promising.Originally posted by Parry1912 View Post"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment
