We already have a thread for this called the downloads thread (which is pinned too). I think this thread should be merged with it.
The separation was a result of a VERY long discussion over there. Don't open this can of worms again........

I withheld a reply hoping the can would simply wobble slightly and come back to rest. ;D ;) Anyway, David is referring to another thread, the one used for discussions of download services and quality of files available.
Yes what Navneeth said. Not talking about super bargain thread but instead the download thread, which has the benefit of being pinned.

Ahh; sorry!
I notice that Presto is offering (by mistake?) some ASV recordings for less than £2 per disc, or per disc's worth, I should say (MP3 and FLAC). (Some discs, on the other hand, are not downloadable in my country.)

Bumping this thread so people can see it. ::)
So, can I post about cheap CD deals here? ::)
Complete Brilliant Classics Tallis for £10.79 from Qobuz:
http://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/integrale-des-oeuvres-thomas-tallis/5028421942681
No digital booklet, but the individual ones are all freely and legally downloadable from Signum's site: http://www.signumrecords.com/products/pages/search.php?action=search&part=tallis
I was looking for the 2 or 3 individual volumes that I'm missing, but they would have cost a lot more.
For those of us in the Qobuz area (only a bit of Western Europe, sadly), complete Bob Dylan album collections at greatly reduced prices until tomorrow:
http://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/search?s=prd&q=bob-dylan-2016&i=boutique
This looks cheap! Especially for an OOP box set
https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=B6sq3x2nqi63lvrphmrux7strea
There are some incredible deals on various Lyrita collections on eMusic these days:
British Piano Concertos 4 discs, 305 minutes
British String Concertos 4 discs, 303 minutes
British Symphonies 4 discs, 316 minutes
and biggest of all:
Lyrita Celebrating 50 Years (both sets!!) 8 discs, 589 mintues
Each of the above is available for $6.49 each. And if you buy "double-your-download" booster packs, you pay half that. So you can download more than 25 hours of Lyrita's greatest hits for just $13 total!!
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91kEcn5eCcL._SY355_.jpg)
And by the way, those downloads are at 320 kbps.
Also, as far as I know, there's no overlap between the collections.
Only for those within reach of Qobuz, sadly, but the first 11 volumes of Carus's complete Schütz for £15.99: http://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/album/schutz-complete-recording-hans-christoph-rademann-dresdner-kammerchor/4009350830417?qref=dac_6

I dont know how many of you know Marcel Landowski, composer who served with André Malraux at the Culture Ministery and did a lot of very good things for classical music here. I got tempted by
(http://static.qobuz.com/images/covers/09/29/0190295862909_600.jpg)
and I am downloading it right now. Style is close to Dutilleux.
Not wanting to toot our own horn too much, but we have just started a promotion on SDG, which includes downloads.
Titles are from £6.40 (MP3) or £7.80 (CD quality), once you have paid postage this is cheaper than Amazon marketplace sellers for the physical copy.
This includes the booklets as PDF files.
I have personally checked all the download meta-data and it looks fine to be easily uploaded to your portable device etc. (let me know if you spot any errors).

I've mentioned this elsewhere: the complete organ works of Bach. Free:

Qobuz have a number of "Naxos Special Projects" sets at the moment for the price of a single disc (£4.79), including the complete symphonies of Howard Hanson and J.M. Kraus, complete Albinoni oboe concertos and Bruch works for violin and orchestra.
For those of us in Western Europe, Qobuz have a big sale: http://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/search?q=80-percent-off-the-big-download-sale-2017 (http://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/search?q=80-percent-off-the-big-download-sale-2017)
My eye has been caught so far by a set of the Biber Rosary Sonatas for £1.92 and a recording by Dominique Vellard of a Mass setting by Isaac (Missa Virgo Prudentissima).

I also got this CD of french court music from the end of the 17th century (Louis XIII), but this was 6.99 €, outrageously expensive in comparison

Qobuz is continuing its sales. It includes big labels. This week all of Naive is at half price. If you are missing some of their Vivaldi's or Chamayou's recordings, this looks like a good time

The Diotima Quartet's complete 2nd Viennese box for £8.00, and Minkowski's Schubert symphonies for a ridiculous £3.60 are also very tempting. I also nearly bought a Nielsen clarinet concerto I hadn't heard, to add to my large collection, by the exotically-named Dionysis Grammenos, but on the audio examples he sniffs a lot. And there are Ferneyhough string quartets, and Morales
Tenèbres...
Just got Juditha Triomphans from their Vivaldi serie.
(https://static.qobuz.com/images/covers/93/21/0709869002193_600.jpg)
With Magdalena Kozena in the title role. 3CD for 4€. Not bad. Diapason d'or 2011.

plus your Quatuor Diotima 2nd Viennese box - which doesn't duplicate any of my other recordings of the
Lyric Suite as theirs is the sung version! I'm currently trying hard to like Schoenberg's 3rd quartet, but it isn't easy...

If you have Spotify, they're all there. No need to spend an extra $3.50
