That Vivarte II box can also be had cheaply at Amazon Germany (49.99 Euros), and as part of a 3 for the price of 2 deal (cheapest free), potentially allowing greater savings. (The range of items available in the deal is fairly extensive.)

For 60 CDs it's excellent value.

It's gone into my Save for Later list - which means I may never actually buy it! The Madam Butterfly may well be one of the best ever. There is quite a detailed review by one of the Amazon reviewers. The other reviewer doesn't even seem to have listened to any of the CDs.

.........The Madam Butterfly may well be one of the best ever.

I'm not contradicting you. But as the work is mentioned and just to say, I'll be ordering the ROH DVD of their recent revival with Ermonela Jaho as Butterfly. I went to see it twice in the House, and again at the cinema and I found it rather moving - in a work I've not taken to, hitherto. (Has to be said, the Pinkerton has a drawback (tone/timbre etc vocally - but not dreadful)). Whether its the best available on DVD isn't a consideration - its evoking very positive visual/musical memories of the performances.....

Indeed, though very occasionally I get one that comes all the way from that delightful town, Piacenza.
