Bargains

Thanks to Dave for East German Bruckner tip. My wife grew up in Leipzig and we are always on the lookout. Recent worthwhile acquisitions have been:

Kowitschny Beethoven Syphonies

Herbert Kegel Legendary - reviewed here - very eclectic mostly 20th C box.

Konwitschny's Beethoven 7 is the most exhilarating performance of the piece that I have ever heard.

It's a fine set, johnb, and especially No 7.

No2 is also outstanding.

Vaughan Williams Collectors Edition on EMI/Warner for £14.50 plus p&p

Vaughan Williams Collectors Edition on EMI/Warner for £14.50 plus p&p

A fine bargain. Worth it for the Handley symphony cycle alone.

It is €4.46 from a seller on Am.It (£8.60 delivered) - 4 left.

21.35 hrs: none left but this was the third tranche so possibly another to come?

Blimey !

Still a super bargain at £14.50 for anyone who wants an instant RVW collection.

I saw this on http://bons-plans-classique.blogspot.co.uk and immediately placed an order. It's a ridiculous bargain, if it materialises that is.

Thanks for providing the link johnb - I've signed up to the Facebook page of bonsplansclassique, as it looks like a very useful site which automatically informs about the current best CD and DVD deals available.

It's back up - 2 left.

It's only slightly more from am.it - under £10 all in. There were about 7 left when I looked last.

Am.It is the cheapest surely - £8.60 vs £15.66 at Am.Uk - both all in. (It is why I posted the former #5361). More seem to be available.

Depends whether you choose the amazon.it offering or the Italian market place sellers. Less than £1 difference. Arguably direct dealing with amazon might be simpler. The UK offerings from marketplace sellers, as you point out, cost around £15.

According to the link in #5361 as far as I can see Am.It (as opposed to a MP seller), is not offering this box. The MP sellers are Zoreno and (slightly more expensive) Dodax, both largish companies. I have bought from Dodax on a number of occasions without any difficulty.

Here's another - still a bargain at well under a quid a disc - to pick the (duplication?) bones out of: 50 Great Recordings - Sony Classical 44 discs - £30.77.

[Dave2002]

OK - I didn't read all the relevant am.it page carefully enough. The sellers are zoreno and dodax, with dodax being slightly more expensive, but seemingly having more copies - or they did have.
