Sarge, I have only one other version (Emmanuelle Haïm). I'm not a big Dildo collector  ;D. You recommend Hogwood?

;D :D ;D

I don't own Hogwood's version either but Bott and Kirkby make it something I'm considering.

Wow, the Ashkenazy looks terrific! I would like to hear your opinion once you've listened to it, John.

Absolutely, Ilaria. Just to let you know I also bought these from the same series:

[asin]B003DXPLWS[/asin]

[asin]B003TIAZTQ[/asin]

All for a $1 plus shipping of course. :) By the way, if you go back a few pages, you'll see some more highlights from my recent orders. 8)

Thank you, John. These recordings looks amazing too, especially the sond one. :)

Haha, I'll have a look now....

Excuse the off-topic nature of this post. I didn't order from i-deals, and I paid full price...and the items have actually arrived at my door  ;D

You get such sweet service where you are. Every time you post how quickly things arrive, I am amazed all over again.
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Indeed. I really look forward to each new disc. But at the rate it's going (the first volume came out in 1999) it'll be 2025 before it's completed  :(

Didn't know where else to ask so I'll try it here: can anyone tell me what the hell "This item can't be delivered to a Wish List or gift registry address" means? I was shopping on Amazon.co.uk as usually, picked up a few items from the marketplace but suddenly this message pops out during the checkout. Never seen it before, never had problems with buying stuff from the marketplace. Mayday, mayday!

Update: I've tried to ship the item to a different adress (same city). Works. I don't get this. At. All.


Update, part deux: Now I DO get it. It couldn't deliver my items to an adress that was not associated with the wishlist (plus the third-party sharing box ticked). The error message totally misled me into thinking that it can't use an adress that is associated with the wishlist. Oh, the joys of being lost in translation!

Sorry for the rant – all is well and I can finally adhere to thread duty:

The Post and German Amazon are very efficient, of course. But the marketplace sellers I use are fast too. Today, for example, I ordered another Fey Haydn disc. I placed my order at 14:18. At 14:28 the seller sent a message saying it was in the mail. Ten minutes flat. A new record  ;D He always gets orders off within an hour (and they arrive early the next morning) but this time he really amazed me  8)

I listened to this one last night. Great! I thought the 6th could have been a bit more breezy. I felt it to be a bit too heavy-handed, but you be the judge. All in all, great performances.

After a relatively fast COE Sixth, Berglund's final thoughts appear to lean back towards his first recorded Sixth, with the Bournemouth, and finding a middle ground. I prefer my Sixths swift (which is one reason I love Maazel/Vienna and Davis/Boston so much) but for something completely different, Berglund is interesting.

Very interesting timing comparsion there, Sarge. Thanks for taking the time to post this. Berglund's Helsinki performance is also on the slower side (in the last movement particularly everything else seems about right):

First movement - 8:14
Second movement - 5:31
Third movement - 3:55
Fourth movement - 11:11
