Leonard Bernstein Edition - Concertos and Orchestral Works - 80 discs from Sony, £71.99. (Full contents list not yet found and presumably the same ridiculous LP size box of the Symphony Edition).

I don't have as big an issue with those big size boxes as some do, but what is a pain is when they're not all quite the same size or shape with different companies going for different sized "jumbo" boxes.

I shall await listings with interest.

Any Lieder fan who hasn't got the Naxos Schubert box might be interested in this offer from jpc - 56 Euro incl postage. I hesitated on the individual issues but have really enjoyed this collection which complements Hyperion in having only German speakers and many new names + some use of fortepiano. Generally more expensive at GB sellers. I paid £67 at Europadisc last year - now £87.

Occasionally the different approaches to box size and design can work to the purchasers' advantage. The Sony Beethoven "Complete Masterworks" box had so much unused space in it (filled with card spacers) that there was room, once the spacers were removed, for the 50 CDs of the EMI Beethoven "Collector's Edition", the latter originally being housed in an inconveniently designed box with light card slip- on wrapper:





Both boxed sets have lost much of their bargain status now, though at one time the pair could be had for a total of £32 in HMV sales.

S/H Bach: Four Sacred Masterpieces from JEG (9CDs) £6.99 post free at Play.

It's our old friend Zoverstocks so you have to take the condition with a pinch of salt. My one had a rather grubby and slightly dented box but the CDs seem OK (I've not played them yet).

You're a braver man than I am, LMP (a "collection", too!)

[LeMartinPecheur]

Perhaps I misunderstood and it's "The Heifetz Bum+ collection" where "Bum+" means a lowish minimum star-rating for the albums in something like the Penguin Guide?

Some cheap Albany recordings at Selections - as low as 45p each. Don't rush though, as these are mostly curiositirs, and I already have some of those. I think searching for Tirimo on the site may prove more rewarding. There is a paper catalogue which makes it easier in some ways to spot "bargains" at Selections.
