So, what's at the top of your wishlist?  What if you had the money to buy right now (sometimes money is tight)?

At the top of mine right now (ChamberNut's 10 most wanted):

Brahms - Viola and Clarinet Sonatas
Brahms - Violin Sonatas
Shostakovich - Complete symphonies
Sibelius - Symphonies 1, 3, 4, 6
Messiaen - Quartet pour la fin de temps
Zemlinsky - String Quartets
Haydn - String Quartets (besides Op. 20,76 and 77)
Wagner - Solti's Ring Cycle
Faure - Piano Quartets and Quintet
Schumann - Piano Trios






Franco

Leyla Gencer / 7 Complete Operas (14-disc Set)

Montserrat Caballé / 7 Complete Operas (14-disc Set)

Franco Corelli / 7 Complete Operas (14-disc Set)

Giuseppe Di Stefano / 7 Complete Operas (14-disc Set)


These sets are incredibly cheap, each 14 disc set is less than $30

La Scala Collection - 11 Operas [DVDs] - pricey at $99

Verdi: Great Operas From La Scala [21 CDs] - not too bad at $55

But for a spending lockdown - these would be my next purchases.

Opus106

JS Bach - the first tenth of what's left to be bought
JS Bach - the second tenth of what's left to be bought

Sarge, although I love that Parsifal set, I'll trade you my Parsifal/Thielemann for the 10 in my wishlist.  ;D

I'm actually tempted!...and I could almost do it. Unfortunately I only have one set of Zemlinsky Quartets (Lasalle) and I won't give that up...not even for Parsifal  ;D

Well, life is full of surprises, David?  ;D  I've heard the Brahms, Messiaen and 1 of the Schumann piano trios.  The rest is relatively brand new.
