    Following on from the last msg 4725, I remembered this trombone CD - http://www.selections.com/trombone-m...g-friends.html which is rather good, and worth a lot more than 45p.

    Leo Sowerby is also worthy of some investigation, and there are also a few Peter Dickinson CDs in the Albany collection.

        Also from Italy for a bit less - http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00K...e_epc__1p_1_ti

        I've still not located a CD contents listing.

          Well spotted, Dave! An even better bargain. I must say, I am very tempted by this set, I think it looks full of great things.

            The Italian Amazon link leads to a complete track and artist listing if you click on the right place on the page linked to, i.e. on the truncated listing presented on that page.

                I've bought a couple of cd sets in Italian and just hoped I'd pressed the right answers!

                  Sorry, Bryn, I don't see what you mean...I can't find the complete list. Can you be a bit more explicit?

                    I've ordered plenty in Italian and not a dud yet but I don't follow what Bryn is suggesting ... and that's in English

                        Many thanks AmpH

                        I wonder if it will come with English translations of the song/opera texts

                          Ah. I was using a smartphone running Android. That presents a page which includes a truncated listing of the first disc. If clicked on, that listing expands into a full listing of all the discs.

                            Presumably if it is a limited edition, it will be the same box available internationally?

                              If you haven't already put in an order on the Italian site it might be wise to check the various Amazon sites if you wish to purchase this item - Rachmaninov set. The price seems to have risen in the last day or two, so now the UK site might be comparable in pricing, when you take into account the postage.

                              Good that others have tracked down the listings.

                                I think that will be the case, though I have noted one or two country/language specific issues on both German and Italian sites in recent weeks. There are usually a few clues on the box covers - such as Chinese characters on one or two sets which I bought while abroad. If it looks as though it's "English" it probably will be.
