What CD, book, DVD etc are you waiting for?

Nice one, Alison! The accompanying book is a joy too. I saw Solti often and met him on a number of occasions, so that box is full of treasure for me.

I've just ordered the complete Willi Boskovsky box on Decca https://www.amazon.co.uk/Willi-Bosko...cca+recordings

Splashing out just a couple of days after Christmas!!

You're in dire need of a new year's resolution!!!

Just getting one more box in before the resolution starts! (Actually, a horse race win this week has paid for it!)

I ordered this box from Amazon at 18.02 yesterday. It arrived here at 12.25 today! Astonishing service!!

Solti arrived today, yes very handsome presentation. This must be my first ever recording of the B minor Mass

That's the thing about these boxes: I've ended up with around half a dozen B minor Masses without trying! It's a good way of making new discoveries. The Boskovsky box includes all of his chamber music recordings made with the Vienna Octet, Boskovsky Ensemble etc and am greatly looking forward to hearing the pieces for the first time.

The Ken Russell triple BFI release - Elgar, The Debussy Film, and Song of Summer - arrived on Xmas Eve. None of the DVDs tracks: I will check with my neighbour's system to make sure before claiming a replacement or refund, but none of the big Minder box set have this problem, so I don't think the fault can be with mine.

Shame about that, really.

What about that boxed set of everything ever played at A VPO New Year concert? Issued 2-3 years ago, did anyone invest?

Not me, no. Despite some internet searching I could never find out the full details of what exactly was on offer. In any case, I guess I have most of the pieces and most likely in the recordings in the box which were almost certainly collected from various labels. A box of live Boskovsky NYDCs from Austrian Radio tapes would be a good idea.

Thanks Pet, I’ve decided to invest as it looks likely to be out of print soon. Amazon have it as a new item but otherwise it’s dearer used copies.

Following on from the EPIC Recordings box which has given much pleasure, very much looking forward to receiving this next Juilliard String Quartet box :-

Waiting for arrival in the post: the Domaine Musical Boulez boxed set.

The Sinopoli 16 CD box, which is a good price ATM, and with a £20 Amazon voucher , only a couple of quid.

[Pulcinella]

Tippett: Various (Decca Eloquence); I prefer the Davis version of the Suite in D to the Solti that is included in the symphony set.
Elgar: The light of life (EMI; RLPO/Groves).
Clarke: Viola sonata (Naxos).
