Bargains

Amazing - my package has arrived too. I ordered on Monday 23rd. Actually can't be quite sure when the box arrived, as other things came in the same consignment, but it's still pretty impressive. If the post people kept things together they would have arrived on Wednesday.

Just spotted this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cello-Concerto-Introduction-Allegro-South/dp/B001G394DO/ref=sr_1_361?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1403901152&sr=1-361

It is worth every penny! I can tell you.
Buy now, while stocks last.....

What do you mean, Lanson's nearly in England!

Nearly??? I have sat in New County Hall, Truro behind the ample form of a Mebyon Kernow counsellor in a sweatshirt proclaiming "Cornwall is not part of England." I do not jest.

Be afraid, be very, very afraid...

Stocks duly depleted. I have the concerto and Op47 on the original LP, but always a sucker for another In the South

Got to say that I view a 94%er with such a price difference with a question mark or two - interested in the outcome from purchasers!

Kubelik box arrived safely! Hope other forumites had same experience.

Looks as though at present it's worth comparing continental Europe sites with UK ones. We've noted amazon.it with some splendid bargains recently, but even if the Euro price is similar to the UK price, at the current exchange rates of around 1 euro approx £0.8 = approx 81p, then providing the postage etc. is not too much savings can be made. One example is the Julian Bream box set - http://www.amazon.it/Julian-Bream-Co...s=julian+bream - there are no doubt others.

A HIGHLY recommended box. The Tchaikovsky 6, Ravel/Debussy, Schumann 2 and Mendelssohn 4 are particularly wonderful. Lots of good playing from the Philharmonia, SKD and NYPO and the sonics range from pretty good to outstanding. The only shame is that they chose the "wrong" Bruckner. 5 and 8 are the stand-outs from his not-quite cycle.

This Giulini box is also significantly cheaper from Italy - http://www.amazon.it/The-Art-Carlo-M..._bxgy_m_text_c 16 CDs for 24.90 Euros.

Similarly for this Barenboim box - http://www.amazon.it/The-Daniel-Bare...C7W2WY31YC08WJ - again 16 CDs at 24.90 Euros.

Jochum too - http://www.amazon.it/The-Symphonies-...8BE3XZWJ7Q5FJ4 17 CDs for 25.39 Euros.

Keep looking!

To me it looks like a re-issue of the 1997 "complete" Brahms Edition, which isn't complete either: the piano trio in A, the 1st version of the trio opus 8 and the Missa canonica are missing, as well as a couple of little piano pieces (arrangements of Gluck i.a.) which can be found on Naxos (and I don't count any of the piano reductions which Brahms made of many of his orchestral and instrumental works, also available on Naxos). But the Italian price is peanuts indeed.
