Originally posted by teamsaint View Postsome more interesting sets upcoming on Amazon DE.
including the Harmonia Mundi 50 CD set, and boxes from Martha Argerich, and Perlman.
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra - The Complete Sony Recordings: 47 cds €36
This set is not in the timed sale but has been at this low price for over a week now. I put this in the basket just before the Argerich came up last time and bought the two together. The delivery charge increased only nominally.

Originally posted by hafod View PostThese timed sales have been running for some two weeks and these sets have done the rounds at least three times. There is no information for how long such 'sales' will run for - possibly to the end of the week?

The Stuttgarter Kammerorchester/Dennis Russell Davies complete Haydn symphonies (plus B flat Sinfonia Concertante) was delivered next door yesterday and passed to me this morning. At £23.22 including p&p it seemed to be useful a supplement to the Adam Fischer set and all but 79 and 81 in various 'HIPP' recordings I have accumulated over the years. In a way, the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester might be considered a half way house to HIPP (Historically Informed but not entirely Historically Instrumented, though baroque bows are used). These are concert recordings, and I have started with 80, 81 and 79 (the symphonies are ordered on the discs according to current best assessment of their chronology of composition.

That doesn't necessarily mean very much though - what do you think?
Amazon UK customers seem to give it the thumbs up!

* I have now checked out the edit Hurwitz refers to. It is somewhat start, but not that disconcerting[sic]. These are, after all, live recordings and my guess (it can only be that) is that this edit was made to remove some extraneous sound or other, though it could also be the result of cobbling together recordings of two concerts or rehearsal takes.
