The Satie and Friends is a must have!

Which is why I already have it, though it cost me rather more. No regrets.

This one has proven too tempting, credit card now wielded - they are a wonderful duo, I have their complete Schubert set and it is lovely. Thanks (again) Hafod.

Would that be this one - also from jpc at €12.99?

Robert Schumann - The Live Complete Solo Piano Works: Dana Ciocarlie £3.97

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Robert-Schumann-Complete-Piano-Works/dp/B0742WNHPC

I fear a rerun of the Strauss opera box saga but please not to be endlessly picked over on the bargain thread. On the other hand, information on Dana Ciocarlie welcome (my knowledge of French evaporated years ago).

PS European Amazon sites have this set at anywhere between 30 and 70 euros.

Just ordered 6. In for a penny.

The boxed Sequentia Hildegard edition (Sony) is up for grabs for £20.17 from amazon.co.uk. That's around 59% of the best new price on other European Amazon sites.



However, don't forget the excellent CD of Hildegard and John Cage, as also recommended in the Hildegard BaL.

Picked this up this morning. Very smart presentation. One for the bookshelf though. The book has around 50 pages in each of three European languages; English, French and German.

How many shopping days until . . . ? Ordered 3.

How many shopping days until . . . ? Ordered 3.

Would be rude not to!

I was more modest - only ordered one, and added a couple of other items to get the free delivery.

Is the Hildegard set any good? I'm not sure whether I want or need it - but will cogitate.

I think one CD now in the 'booksed' set was the principal BaL choice. I already had some of them but it would have cost rather more to get the rest singly.

[All discs but Celestial Hierarchy are held not by a hub but a peripheral clip and lip system which is new to me.]

It would - strongly recommended!

Salonen conducts Stravinsky, 7CDs, at about £13 before postage (it was even cheaper yesterday!) looks like a bargain.
Any comments on the performances?
I have the concerto CD that includes Movements.

I don't know those E-PS Stravinsky recordings at all, Pulcie - but they look enticing and a two quid a pop if P&P is included, I might just ....

(The Amazon reviewer is very keen! )

Funny you should mention that. I just happen to have ordered it last night, £13.41 including p&p from Switzerland. It has gone up 91p from the same vendor since then.

So it's your fault that this set cost me more this morning.

Blame the Amazon recommendation algorithm. It was that which drew my attention to the very existence of the set when I was reviewing my earlier order for Rex Lawson's Nimbus recordings of the Pianola versions of Petrushka, Study for Pianola, and the Rite of Spring + the William Kapell boxed set which arrived yesterday (left, much to my annoyance, propped against the front door, contrary to my specific instruction re. my "safe place").

[I think I already have the Rite from this set in the Sony Rites box. However, I have just moved to supplement it with a Used - Very Good copy of the later DG SACD recording by the the LAPO.]

Yes, I too have The rite (c/w Symphony in three movements) in that box as well as the piano concerto disc; still seemed a good deal, though.
Except it's now back down to £12.01 plus p+p!
