Bargains

[gurnemanz]

I only had one of Matthias Goerne's one-man Schubert Lieder edition (Schöne Müllerin) on Harmonia Mundi so I have just acquired the 12 disc set for £29.66) from an Amazon seller (post free from the seller's site). (Similar prices are available elsewhere). I would regard this as a definite bargain with individual discs still going for full price. A fine contribution from a devoted Lieder singer with one of the great voices of our time, using various accompanists. Some marvellous interpretations, sometimes on the slow side, but I was happy to go along with that.

Without being able to see other than a broad brush overview of the sets, it's really rather hard to compare them and to know the contents and the performers. Although the am.it offering seems best at present there's perhaps no need to rush in as other suppliers do have the sets and the prices are not that much higher (such as twice as expensive ....) and it would be better to be sure of what one is buying. Even presto, which is often excellent at providing fleshed out detail, seems to only be providing basic information for this/these sets - or have I missed something?

Try searching for "arkivmusic teldec complete bach edition".

As far as I know, the more expensive one is just an earlier issue of the same set. I also came out in mp3 USB format.

The JPC.de website makes it quite clear that it is a reissue of the 2012 set (i.e. the more expensive one on the Amazon UK site).

Would look good if I did not already have most of the recordings therein.

The Warner Complete Debussy was delivered to my next door neighbour's address on Saturday. I collected it about half an hour ago. Good that it has the recited Chansons de Bilitis (Seyrig/Nash Ensemble). Something that annoyed me about the Sony Debussy Collection was that they failed to include their premier Zorina/Craft recording of the work. My LP of that is no longer playable due to heat damage.

While on the subject of this set:

My Warner Bach edition is on its way from Weybridge, due for delivery before 20:00 hrs. For once it did not start out from Dunfermline but from Piacenza (last Friday).

The Warner/Teldec Bach Complete Edition has been delivered. The casing is not quite what I was expecting. No flip up lid, just a hard, glazed and printed card box in a lighter card slip-wrap. For convenient access to the discs it will probably be best to remove them all, place a thin dowel spacing strip in the back of the box and return the disc slip-cases and book to their place, except protruding a little to make picking an individual disc easier.

This is NOT what you get with the new cheaper version:



What you get looks similar at first sight, but with an important cost-cutting difference:



Also, the wash is pale brown, rather than grey.

[The book, by the way, is simply 350 pages of track listing. There are no texts or programme notes. There is no DVD, either. So, basic but good value I would opine.]

... interesting, thanks for the detailed info.

I have the 1999 teldec Complete Bach edition, which seems to overlap with this recent incarnation quite a lot. The various 'new improved' bits I suspect I already have in other formats - so I think this time I shall be abstaining...

Some of us were very grateful for this two weeks ago. I was going to pass on the link to someone else. Good thing we acted quickly. Now gone.

I looked into this, but in the end found that I could stream the symphonies from Qobuz -

The Bach box is looking interesting though, if I have enough spare cash.

Albeit rather more expensive at £47.99.

I got that Bach Edition on usb. A novelty at the time now an irrelevant idea. I've put it on 64 gb stick with loads of othe stuff, permanently available plugged into my player.
