Glad to hear it (I acquired both boxes too). There's a tendency for these kind of bargains to get "lost in the post" in my experience. -
Well mine were both wrongly addressed ("Drive United Kingdom" mysteriously inserted in the middle of my street address) but they got here in good time.Originally posted by Kamisama View PostComment

A couple of new and used bargains over on Amazon.De.
Ashkenazy 50 CD Decca Box, used, under £40 delivered. Not all the sellers listed will deliver to UK though.
Mozart 225 Complete . FRENCH EDITION. About £180

Bart van Oort's 14 CD traversal of all the Mozart keyboard works for fortepiano (including for 4 hands) for just over 10 euros...I ordered it from marvelio-france on this list, and a new, sealed box arrived. An astonishing bargain.
I already had Brautigam's excellent set, but this one is very good indeed and much more complete.Comment

Yes, a fine survey and your price was only a little higher, pro rata, than the big Brilliant Classics big Mozart box. Ideal if you do not want the 'fillers'.Originally posted by MickyD View PostBart van Oort's 14 CD traversal of all the Mozart keyboard works for fortepiano (including for 4 hands) for just over 10 euros...I ordered it from marvelio-france on this list, and a new, sealed box arrived.

Apart from having bought the Hänssler Classic, Brilliant Classics and Warner sets when they were at bargain basement prices, I have so many of the Universal (DG/Decca/Philips, etc.) recordings in the new box that it will not be going on my list.Comment

For anyone who doesn't already have the conspectus they provide of British music (cowpatistos, serialists and all), JPC currently have these Lyrita 4-CD sets available for less than £10 each (I haven't checked whether they still charge a flat rate for postage but it used to be quite reasonable - and they are very efficient at despatching stuff):
As an add-on, they also have this Hungarian take on RVW:

Indeed a bargain but really loads of duplication. Also it does seem strange to see a Decca logo on a box by an artiste who was a mainstay of the Philips label over the years!Originally posted by jpegasus View PostComment
