On the face of it a great price. However, despite the .co.uk URL they are based in Germany - so there could be a big VAT/customs hit.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment

Partch, Delusion and Fury, Musikfabrik, Wergo. Now streaming. Sounds cool.
They’ve made a video of this which I’d love to see, but maybe not enough to actually buy,Comment

I see from the Decca Classics website that the Haitink/Concertgebouw box release date has been pushed back to December 31 2022 https://store.deccaclassics.com/*/Bo...gs/7IU616YX000 Amazon are still showing December 31 2023 but still showing TBC without any any image.
Meanwhile, the van Beinum/Concertgebouw set, which has already had its release date changed twice, is now stated to be out on December 9. https://store.deccaclassics.com/*/Bo...ps/7HGC16YX000
Looks like a few Forumites Christmas plans will have gone up in the air!
Why can't release dates be honoured, especially for the all important Christmas market?"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Oh dear Pet. Originally scheduled for this Friday was it not?
Any ideas on an alternative box for Christmas?

Presto have it listed for release on 16 December (although one would expect Decca’s website to be more accurate in this regard), and have reduced their price to £260, so only a few pounds more than Amazon now.Originally posted by Petrushka View Post"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance.

Thanks, LHC. I've twice had problems with 'pre-ordered' boxed sets from Amazon so think I'll go for the Presto offer. Even if the December 16 date is correct it's touch and go whether it will arrive in time for Christmas. I wonder if these continually changing release dates are another 'brexit benefit'?Originally posted by LHC View Post"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

The release dates on Decca’s site are Worldwide, not just for the UK, and it doesn’t appear to be available on European retailers’ s websites yet either, so I don’t think you can ascribe this to Brexit.Originally posted by Petrushka View Post
Given the size of the set I expect any delays are more likely due to shortages of pressing plant facilities and raw materials."I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance.

IMO Titelouze is the greatest French baroque composer of music for organ, and maybe for keyboard tout court.
You can hear the organ here. I can imagine these colours would sound good in Titelouze.

It would appear that DG consider the pianist to be rather more important than the composer, in this instance.Originally posted by Mandryka View Post
