SONY's BIG 60 CD Beethoven Collection

[PerfectWagnerite]

This:


which features Zinman/Tonhalle, The Alexander Quartet, etc., a big 60 CD set is on sale at Amazon for a ridiculous $27.49, or about 50 cents per CD. Now the same Zinman Beethoven Symphony Set is selling for $29.98. How do you figure that?

If anyone is interested here is the link.

There have been quite a few posts on this set (since last april, when it was issued in Europe) and there is another thread: Beethoven Bargain.

Q

[The new erato]

The problem with a box like this is that it contains the works  by Beethoven most people are likely to already have (symphonies, quartets, various sonatas....). The Brilliant 85 CD box (and I could think of other boxes too) contains far more works most of us are unlikely to have.

What I would really like is to have 20-30 CD composer boxes containing most of the composers less successful or less known works.

[FredT]

Anyway you look at for under $30...shipping is free!...you can have quality performances of major Beethoven! 60 CD's worth, count 'em 60! This is absolutely astounding. In the good old days of LP's, this kind of deal came with pseudonym conductors and orchestras, sound and performances were variable. This Sony box is the real deal and we should be grateful for it!

[Mark]

Finally caved in and ordered it. Can't resist 60 CDs for £17 ... delivered to the UK.

The problem with a box like this

At the price of $27.49, including shipping, THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

PERIOD.

D, that new signature. It's a bit ... loud?

D, that new signature. It's a bit ... loud?

Don't worry.  It won't last.

I'm certain someone will complain to the mods about it.

D, that new signature. It's a bit ... loud?

Just realised I missed an opportunity there to use the word 'forte' in place of 'loud'.

Q

Oh yeah, Grazioso posted that earlier. I was on vacation and didn't see it. Anyway I think it is a great deal, even if you only get it for the Symphonies and Concertos and Overtures alone. Together with free shipping from Amazon you wonder who is making money here

Just realised I missed an opportunity there to use the word 'forte' in place of 'loud'.

I will always cherish a chorus story from my undergrad days.  The conductor asked, "What does forte mean?" And ten people answered in near-unison, "Loud!"  The conductor's immediate retort was, "No, it means strong.  I don't ever want this chorus to sound loud."

I will always cherish a chorus story from my undergrad days. 

Tell us another, Karl ..........

Wow Mark.  Please tell me you didn't hand type all that.

Copy 'n' Paste are my friends.

The problem with a box like this is that it contains the works  by Beethoven most people are likely to already have (symphonies, quartets, various sonatas....). The Brilliant 85 CD box (and I could think of other boxes too) contains far more works most of us are unlikely to have.

What I would really like is to have 20-30 CD composer boxes containing most of the composers less successful or less known works.

It's no problem for me: I've been wanting the Zinman symphonies, and I figure if they want to throw in a few dozen other discs for nothing, that's cool

And imagine a newbie coming to this set: it might have works or recordings many of us own, but for a neophyte, what a wonderful way to begin exploring a great composer.

[The new erato]

Yes - but still: lots of unneccessary duplication for many of us. I hate having recordings I don't intend to listen to.

A great box, I will start this coming week listening to it, many goodies in there.
Its a absolute bargain, even if I will throw away some of them, mostly vocal things, and still its a fine set.

I was going to pass on this set, but then Gurn told me about one of the recordings on it... BOUGHT.
