I got an email from Warner re new issues. Jordi Savall - España Eterna - Five Centuries of Music from Spain caught my eye and I've just ordered it from MDT, which seems to be marginally the cheapest offer. 11 classic CDs for about £18 must count as a bargain.
I've not done a close A-B test but from the release year, the identical performers credited, and movement timings within 1 second of each other, I suspect that the 'Rhenish' in both the 33 disc box and the 29 disc (28 CDs + 1 DVD) boxes may be the same recording. Otherwise, I don't think there is further duplication.
I seem to recall Vinteuil flagging up this 5CD set of Liszt symphonic works on period instruments some time ago..I have just found the river people selling it for under £12:

Go for it. I see from Amazon France that the set cost me £30 in 2013 so a snip at the Amazon UK price. Excellent recordings and performances which make the best of a musically somewhat uneven cycle.

... lucky people! I think it was 40 euros when I got the set in 2013.
You will, of course, wish to supplement this with -
Sad - I seem to have missed it. I went to Amazon, and there is was for under £12. Liszt Symphonic Poems. I am currently on Prime - so - put in basket, then try to checkout. Immediately around £38! Double checked - must have missed by a few seconds. Shame!
How bizarre, Dave...I just double-checked my order that I placed about an hour ago and I see that I have got the set for under £12. How does this sudden price change happen, I wonder? Was it a mistake that someone at Amazon noticed and put right?
Vints, thanks so much for highlighting the Hungarian Rhapsodies disc, I didn't know it existed.
