A cd that's released on Naxos a week come Monday called 'Comedy Overtures' on the Naxos label.

The RSNO is conducted by Lance Friedel. 'In Tune' played 'Suzanna's Secret' last night and very perky it was too...

Having waited for its release for decades, I missed it when it finally came out in January.

UPDATE!

Bryn, I've just gone on to Amazon to buy this and it's £45!!! WTF?

What did you pay?

[Bryn]

Try Presto Classical. Less than £30 including p&p.

Less than £20 at Presto in actual fact.

They have a Testament promotion until 29 April

Have another look, Alison. The current Presto price is £28.40 plus £1.50 p&p.

Nethers, I am so sorry. I was looking up the Gothic!

Late night last night.

I'm just hoping they have made a better job of the transfer, or rather, got a better source, than they did re. The Gothic. That came replete with the 19kHz stereo multiplex peak, showing it was sourced from the wrong end of a broadcast. I did have decent Dolby B cassettes of The Tigers taken from FM, but they have disappeared and all I have had for the past few years is a fairly low data rate wma of a not very well captured recording downloaded via another forum. Better than nothing but hopefully not a patch on what should be here in a few days.

Please do advise on sound quality .. But a mandatory purchase in any case

Found these 3 Sibelius symphony sets for a total of £24.87 incl. p&p, on Amazon. Abraveanel & Maazel are brand new, Rattle pre-owned by in very good condition.

A good set of bargains, I thought.

I like Jordi Savall best, when he's doing up-tempo or exotic stuff
