Bargains

[hafod]

Can we get back to Bargains here please. Thanks.

Hear hear!

OK - have you found any recently?

Yes. How about this one?

A group of Amazon Marketplace sellers on AmIt, AmDe and AmFr (but not UK) have the Sony Sviatoslav Richter: Complete Album Collection (18cds) for €21.99. Delivery is €7, €6 and €3.50 respectively which comes in at £19.51 for AmFr - ordered yesterday.

Indeed, but for Schubert from where we stand now it's pretty much a 'brute surd' is it not?

??? I thought surds were something to do with square roots?

Dutton Vocalion has an ongoing sale:

Unfortunately (or maybe not depending upon tastes), the jazz, middle of the road etc are mixed in with the classical.

Many thanks hafod! I've snapped up a few gems : Rebecca Clarke Violin Sonata etc: Frandsen & Jensen conduct Nielsen (Symphs 3 & 6 respectively); Havergal Brain 1950s live studio broadcasts (Symphs 9 & 11 + Dr Merryheart Ov.); the Grillers playing Mozart & Haydn; and an RVW disc with Boult's unmodified Symph 6.

Must be something there I'll like...

Just limbering up to kick myself black and blue for not ordering the disc of Gerhard Husch singing Kilpinen songs Still, I could go round again I suppose, with so many discs at £1.49 or £1.99...

Colin Davis's 7 CD RCA Sibelius cycle with the LSO including Kullervo and tone poems £9.76 at Amazon UK:

I've got the numbered symphonies (apart from 7 and Kullervo with which it was originally coupled) but none of the tone poems. I've ordered it anyway - at this price it's daft not to.

I'm umming and ahhing about which Davis Sibelius set to get. Boston seems the front-runner, and the later LSO ahead of this one. It's so hard

The later LSO set has great performances but you get the conductor sometimes singing along (I almost said 'umming and ahhing') . Doesn't bother everyone but I found it sufficiently distracting not to buy the set.

Sir Adrian Boult - Vaughan Williams: The Complete EMI Recordings (13cds): £9.79 plus delivery (£1.26) from a group of Marketplace sellers. My copy arrived a few days ago.

As hafod says, the LSOLIVE set does have some "extraneous" additions to the score () and a number of people dislike the Barbican sound. I don't have a problem with either of these issues - and it's the RCA recorded sound that I've disliked whenever I've played that set (many years ago, now - could have been improved/remastered by now?)

The Boston cycle is pretty damn good - you might just find your ideal #6 (the "?" in your list from last week) there, BeefO.

Unless one is allergic to Andrew Davis then this would appear to be a penny well spent (contents list in the review)..
