Originally posted by cloughie View PostJust had a look at Oxfam on line - considering they are selling donated products the prices are too high and a postage rate of £3.95 also too much. Are they trying to make up the deficit from losing the government funding for their misdemeanours?
I thought the price was high, but so was everywhere else! They are just selling at the market price. Why not? I'm still happy to donate to Oxfam, they do a lot of good work, even if there are (or were...) a few bad boys. Aren't there always a few rotten apples in any organisation? The BBC certainly had a lot of them floating about!
Anyway, there are a few interesting looking CDs for around £3/4 and £3.95 P&P is for any number of CDs.
They need to fix their interface; there are only 3 Cds listed under classical (!), but 3000 under the "Opera, classical,...", which is the one to choose:
... in fact scrolling down the list I see they have some interesting Naxos at £0.99, buy ten of them and you are getting into "real bargain" territory!
P.S. It's interesting that they list the shops that have the CDs. What happens if you order ten from ten different shops?! Ordering just one takes long enough to arrive...Last edited by Mal; 30-04-18, 16:51.

Looking forward to receiving this recent Sony issue of the highly - regarded second ( 1951/52 ) mono cycle of Beethoven String Quartets by the Budapest Quartet, apparently remastered from original tapes. There was a previous issue on United Archives I believe, which now seems to be deleted and available copies very expensive.

The Russian Guitar 1800-1850
The sevenstring guitar appeared in Russia in the 1790s and experienced its Golden Age during the first half of the 19th century. This Box Set is a monument to this remarkable era.
The 7 CDs of this set follow chronologically the development of the guitar in Russia: from the very first works by the Patriarch of the Russian guitar Andrey Sichra, through the Muscovite School of Aksionov, Vysotsky and Vetrov, the St. Petersburg School with works by Morkov and others, to the Romantics Alexandrov, Zimmerman and Sarenko.

Some of the QOBUZ offerings of the new Sony re-masterings are available as 96/24 downloads. They claim "stereo", which is not, of course, what you get.

I am currently waiting for yet another Beethoven 9th (this time it's Tafelmusik/Weil).
