      For anyone who does not have it there are very cheap used copies on Amazon of the live Ferrier/Lewis/Barbirolli account of Das Lied Von der Erde at present £1.48 or so .

      An essential supplement to the legendary Walter recording IMO.

        ... for those who already have the 1953 Krauss Ring,




        it may be of interest that the 1953 Keilberth Ring* is also available - and pretty cheap too...



        I think the Krauss is marvellous; I shall be interested to hear what the Keilberth offers.

        [ * ... not to be confused with the famous 1955 Keilberth

          The Keilberth can be had from MDT for just over £28 plus delivery as opposed to £37 on Amazon.

            Thanks, Barbs, one of them now duly snapped up. It'd better be good, mind, as I already have two Ferrier/Walters (the standard Decca and the NYPO/Svanholm). And more than a few non-Ferriers...
            I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

              Hi EdgeleyRob,

              Horowitz 'Three Classic Albums' duly arrived. What a bargain at £1 or a mistake more like! Not surprisingly the price has now altered.

                  Today's eclassical deal-of-the-day is the Lahti/Vanska recording of the Lemminkainen Legends (definitive version, not the superceded drafts) and the rare Wood Nymph.

                  24 bit for $7.17 or CD quality for $5.12.

                    Certainly well worth considering. I thought I got a decent bargain when I paid 30 Quid for it when it came out. I didn't know that much Delius and for me this was a good way to tread some less-travelled paths.

                        Definitely some good things there, including Hilary Hahn's Schoenberg violin concerto CD, which I hear is very good.
                        Worth trawling through the 4 or so web pages I think.

                            A couple from AmEs:

                            Opéras Français - 38 cd: Michel Plasson: £28.97 delivered


                            Maria-Joao Pires: Complete Erato Recordings (17 cd) - £12.62 delivered


                            The Plasson is now £24.62 on AmUK - nice to see Amazon competing with itself to bring down prices although of course one swallow does not make a summer!

                            UPDATE: AmDe is now in on the act at €27 - £22.90 delivered.

                              not sure if these have been recently reduced, but the Decca analogue boxes are available for download for about £32. (both from Presto classical and amazon).

                              which might be fun if you like to burn to CD........

                                Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms - Choral Music 1972-1976 (Karajan Official Remastered Edition) 5CD : £5.79 new in AmUk marketplace.
                                I was astounded by the improvement in the sound quality compared with the transfers in the large EMI Karajan vocal box (especially the German Requiem) - and at this price......
