So that everyone can feel comfortable, I should say I have no Medtner albums and no Alkan albums. I never had any Medtner, and about twenty years ago I had two or three Alkan recordings by Hamelin, but they have long since gone.

Well, yes...

...well, no. You're asking somebody with a distinct liking for sets, who decided to strike out and buy over 70 recordings when he had only heard a selection of them, whether he's now considering getting rid of some of them? It doesn't work like that. Frankly, the question seems odd when you've observed what I'm doing.

The only ones I would get rid of are the concerto/voices box set re-releases that look different, if I decide at some point to be especially silly and aim to get the 5/6 discs in each box in their original stand-alone form. With cardboard slipcases otherwise the switch would be unnecessary.

The only discard thus far is that ridiculous free gift that turned out to be an album by a convicted arsonist and murderer. Which, as previously flagged, is now somewhere in the local garbage dump.

I don't remember you liking sets per se [Sorry, not trying to be rude here, but I do have things going on in my own life too].  I remember you mentioning about hearing/listening to some of the music--I don't recall all of the details.  I do remember you mentioning one CD that you didn't like at least one of the pieces but liked another, so wondered whether or not you were wanting/able to let things go that you didn't like so well....I know, easier said than done; that's all.

I don't remember you liking sets per se [Sorry, not trying to be rude here, but I do have things going on in my own life too].

But you do know I'm on a quest to collect all the volumes of the series. You've been following it. You're even asking about my progress. You know I that I want THIS set. That's why I find your question a bit bewildering.

Anyway. Besides all that I'm also not in the business of disposing of albums after just one listen. It often takes me years to decide to acquire them.
