Does anybody know what is the name of that building on the cover? I think it's in Vienna.

The Haydn set is a no brainer, its very good in my opinion.

Hi Harry - thanks for your support - recommended by Sanantonio in the Haydn thread mentioned; 9/10 5* ratings on Amazon, except for a 3*listing by the usual contrarian reviewer (Bernard...) - and a brief but excellent review on AllMusic - expecting to enjoy greatly.  Dave :)

Indeed, it's in Vienna: the Karlskirche (Saint Charles church). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlskirche

Cheers,

It's such a wonderful place and the space is beautiful around it. I stumbled upon it late night of the day of my first visit to Vienna and it was almost magical. Sorry for diverting the thread in a wrong direction.

Well, some discussion in a rejuvenated Haydn thread on his piano sonatas prompted the purchase below - the Beethoven was on my 'wish list', so simply  'pulled the trigger' - both from an Amazon MP seller - new packages for about $60 total - Dave :)

 
I didn't know they had those budget Eloquence CD's in multi-disc box sets. Are they in a clam shell style? Are there others besides the Beethoven?

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

Yes,  a dark horse suggested by someone here quite a while ago. Was it you? I can never remember...

No, but I would have easily done that, if I knew you were considering it. :)

Hi Chris - cannot answer your question, but would think just a single box w/ the discs in paper sleeves of some type - others who own the set hopefully will respond to your question.  In checking @ Amazon, the following Search Results appears using 'Decca Eloquence' - not sure if that is what you want to know?

Hi Karl - thanks for the 'thumbs up' on both sets!  I expect to enjoy - Dave :)

Cardboard boxes with the individual discs in quite sturdy cardboard sleeves.

That looks great, Moonfish! I'm not really that much into music of the middle ages, but have owned the "Troubadours" album--CDs 4&5 of that box--for many year (first on LP and now on CD) and find it really enjoyable...

Good to know, Dave! I listened to the first album ("Dante") last night and found it very alluring.  Sequentia is a very interesting ensemble.

I am a fan of Medieval music and have just dropped that set into my shopping cart.

The more the better...  ;) ;)
