What interesting company you keep, Dave!

I don't think he was a knight in shining armour. I believe it tended to go rusty, and needed a special cleaning procedure.

Recommendations from 15th century anoraks welcome

Well, I'm in my Middle Ages so go for it, HiDoug! (I don't know this disc, but the stuff from the Manuscript that I do know is wonderful - and the Hilliards were at the peak of their considerable powers when they made this recording, so sounds a very safe bet. In fact, I might even have a punt myself, so thanks for the nudge! )

Always carry a can of 2-in-1, I guess!

Done. So now I can reply to Thropps that, yes, actually I do have Queldryk in my collection. Never heard of him when I woke up this morning and now I'll have his complete oeuvre - all two works of it - gracing my shelves, to sit alongside Pérotin and the Pet Shop Boys.

A line worthy of DON, I reckon HD

Has that been a victim of austerity cuts, too?

That would have prevented him from being squeaky clean.

Is that one of those ECM, Jan Garbarek-type releases?

Aargh! You have reminded me of that Jan Garbarek tootling horror of a CD which has me switch off R3 even faster than Clemmie. Recommendation of 'Ars Britannica' duly noted: I may await the next French Amazon "4 CDs for €20" offer where they tend to have quite a few of these 2-disc reissues of Das Alte Werk on offer - 'Carmina Burana' and some Bach cantatas were acquired this way a couple of months ago.

The forthcoming (March 3rd) release of the RCA Living Stereo vol 2 is at a good price - for anyone who wants that sort of thing - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...&pf_rd_i=typ01

60 CDs for under £50.

[Dave2002]

These recordings of Chopin piano music now seem available at a good price - around £11 - http://www.selections.com/chopin-c-t...rks-15cds.html

Also at http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-lis...&condition=new check the postage, which might be cheaper.

I may have these already, or something similar, so will have to check.

Prokofiev symphonies on 4 CDs for under £6 - maybe a limited time offer - http://www.selections.com/prokofiev-...-1-7-4cds.html The price might go up next week.

Also via Amazon with a postage charge of £1.26. Bulk buys direct from Selections will probably be cheaper on a per item basis, but may be more for just one single item. For just one item the £1.26 Amazon marketplace charge is competitive.

A good set, although to my ears slightly over-refined for Russian music

I have it and think it's an excellent set with some superb and very idiomatic playing by the orchestras. I have a great admiration for Weller as a conductor and saw him conduct the CBSO at Symphony Hall a couple of years back in a memorable concert.
