I made the mistake of going for the amazon.fr pricing. The price on amazon.co.uk has since dropped to £44.20 including p&p.

... sorry, Bryn - I meant well. It was the best price when I bought it.

Hope you're enjoying it?

Fully appreciated, hence , rather than .

Very fine playing and, as far as the first disc is concerned (all I have listened to, so far) recording. Well presented, too, with fine colour photographs of the instruments.
By the way, direct from Metronome it costs £60 + p&p, do amazon.co.uk is the best bet at the moment.

Though in fairness it’s a pre-order due after Christmas. Seems a good item to add in for Father Christmas - 2nd delivery!

Mendelssohn Piano Concertos etc. (BIS) - Brautigam/ Willens on period instruments, great way to hear old favourites with new ears....

it’s up to £46.81 today. Am uk’s prices seem to go up and down like share prices though there is the supposed pre-order guarantee.

The French Amazon price has shot up to nearly double what it was. Most impressed with it, even if it did cost me a few pounds more than the current UK 'pre-order' price.

This is due out in January...I snap up anything from Stile Antico and this looks like a fascinating programme.

The BBCSSO/Brabbins Tippett Symphonies 3, 4, and in B flat are due out on 1 March 2019.
It's a 2CD set (would that be because a single-issue S3 would be doomed?):

I thought the new recording of Debussy Preludes Bk1 by Javier Perianes was very intriguing - extraordinarily atmospheric playing of the Puerto del Vino.

This appears to be the height of craziness. The Austrian label "God" has released a recording of Morton Feldman's String Quartet 2 played by the Pellegrini Quartet. That's the good news. The bad is that it is on 6 vinyl LPs only, and costs around £100 plus p&p. I have emiled them to enquire whether they intend to stick to this obsolete media or also issue the recording on CD, audio DVD or as high resolution download. 11 side changes for a continuous performance just seems so stupid, let alone the audio defects of vinyl.

Hmm. As I hoped, an alternative has presented itself, and without the inherent disadvantages of vinyl, though with those of lossy data compression (128kbps joint stereo mp3), here.

Thanks Pulcinella, I suspect you're right about #3 not selling too well - it's the least accessible, if boldest of the lot! But what on earth are Hyperion doing using the same front cover as S1 & 2 - or maybe the cover is a work in progress?

I like the look of tho Kondrashin edition (on CD though). I saw him once, with the Concertgebouw, at the 1980 Proms.
