Great set indeed. I've got it as a 6LP set from 1981, and the Pièces de concours are just as great as e.g. the very late string quartet. It's also nice to compare the two piano quartets and the two piano quintets with each other: an avenue from schumannesque to proto-ravelian chamber music. A very intriguing set. -
well with your insights, and the David Bailey quality visuals from Cals, this adds a whole new dimension to the " Bargains" thread !!Originally posted by Roehre View Post
Box isn't as nice, but it certainly looks one for the list....
Incidentally, and reading Pets post below, while the spuds boil, Cali's racks of CDs look so much more tempting than a hard drive.................Last edited by teamsaint; 10-08-14, 16:39.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Caliban's solution is perfect and wish I could achieve something similar. I have bookshelves on my back wall, LPs to the side of them, 42 inch Samsung Smart TV opposite the books with CDs to the side of the books and TV, boxed sets in an alcove and also the side of the window and the remainder of the CDs in every other available space. I haven't yet invaded another room because lots of books take up the space there.
Really, a cull is needed and once I get round to it, the BBC MM CDs are in the firing line."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Those BBC discs have been in the firing line for some considerable time Pet !Comment

What are the two open cases (penultimate shelf, right hand end)?
'Playing Now' and 'Playing Next', perhaps?Comment

Yes, they certainly have and each month the problem gets worse! As I've said before, I've got every single one since Issue no 1 in August 1992 and there are quite a few I don't want or need. The question is: which ones? Some are obvious to me but many are borderline, do I or don't I? Will I ever listen to them or not?
I really need to sit down and just get it done because the extra space available is desperately needed."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Most of them seem to available second hand so if you do make a mistake it should be possible to rectify.
Just think of all those boring Christmas CDs you have!Comment

[QUOTE=Caliban;420678]Yes - the famous "two quid from Superdrug" box
I was robbed - I paid a fiver for it !!
No - it's the Strauss / Zinman box... and what's your problem with Bernie's VW set, eh?
My Zinman antenna was partially right !
Sadly, BH is to me what Liszt is to you - not even the wondrous RVW can survive the dreary BH treatment - now the Previn / RVW box would provide a regal enhancement to your shelves

Sorry to hear about that (and about The Great Shostakovich Rip-Off!) ... I think BH and the Sea Symphony is a match made in heaven... but hey...
