The Super-Duper Cheap Bargains Thread

[AnthonyAthletic]

Super Thanks again Harry.

Andre I ordered the Rosenthal albums too! Spent £60 inc delivery for 28 items.

SACD bargains of the year 🤑

[kishnevi]

The Prazak Quartet LvB for €19.99! That's about 1/3 the Amazon MP price.

That all by itself is a steal. That, two Furtwangler CDs and two Richter CDs, minus VAT plus shipping came out to about $37.00.
Thank you, Harry.

Thank you, Harry!!!

My attempt to purchase the complete Prazak Quartet Praga discography is not complete - I missed on their Shostakovich and Dvorak 10/13 coupling before they went out of stock - but I did grab these:

(Prazak Quartet)
Mozart Concertos 11-13 in chamber arrangements with pianist Slavka Vernerova Pechocova
Schubert Quartet No. 15
"In Concert" (Haydn Op. 50 No. 6, Martinu No. 3, Feld quintet with saxophone, Beethoven Op. 135)
Mozart Quintet 4 + Bruckner Quintet with Jan Talich
Dvorak 12 "American" with Terzetto and Bagatelles (I have the quartet but thought it was worth $1.85 to get the coupling)
Haydn Op. 76 Nos. 4-6

(others)
Rosenthal conducts Debussy
Rosenthal conducts Albeniz
(thanks André!!)
Spohr Nonet
Hummel Septet
Gideon Klein chamber music for strings (Kocian Qtt)
Martinu Piano Quintets

OUCH!!!   I ordered 13 discs -  and I have just opened the Brilliant 60-disc Tchaikowsky set that arrived three or four years ago.
But that set does not contain the Moscow Cantata so I just went on from there.    The 20-disc box of Dieter Klöcker groups collections will be next

You scared me there! I intended to scour for other interesting bargains, but following your comment I ordered pronto!

My most desired item was the Pavel Haas quartets disc. It's in the can!

Does anyone know if the Praga CDs are in space saving DigiPak case/slips or are they standard Jewel case issues?

Those Diapason bargains were DigiPak/Gatefold slips = very space saving 

[AnthonyAthletic]

Beethoven complete quartets, Prazak on UK Amazon.  2 left, same as from JPC, but under £11.

Those Diapason bargains were DigiPak/Gatefold slips = very space saving 

As the offers are from several different Praga series, I'd guess that the singles are partly standard jewel cases and partly digipaks. I have a few standard jewel cases and one Martinu chamber disc that is a normal digipak, i.e. the type that is almost the same thickness as a jewel case, not the slim ones Diapason used.
But I never had a multi-disc box from Praga, so I have no idea how they handle these.

[Brian]

All my Praga CDs are jewel cases except the Prazak Beethoven box, which is a nice space saver box.

A Tony sighting!

Happy update! JPC scrounged up an extra copy of the Dvorak 10/13 Prazak Quartet CD so that is on its way too. Along with a "Sieveking Sound" catalog which is listed on the invoice as a freebie?

Went all out on the Praga offer, and picked up the Jarvi Beethoven Overtures on RCA in the bargain.  Thanks!

Bad luck, they were still listing a bunch of others at bargain prices last night (e.g. Prazak), some others went back to full price. I got the Klein disc; unfortunately my computer apparently does not like hybrid discs. So far I could only play the one of the half dozen I ordered that was not a hybrid (Pavel Haas).

[Harry]

At JPC de, 11 Hanssler boxes for pretty good prices, some of them a real bargain.

Many of the Pragas I wanted were gone too fast ... but I did get a few. Thanks again, Harry!

Last night, stumbled over the box set sale over at amazon.it - some great offers there

examples:
Philip Glass on Sony - 53€ (done ordered)
Living Stereo (Vol. 1) - 47€ (already have)
Living Stereo 2 - 47€ (already have)
Living Stereo 3 - 67€ (skipping)
Bernstein Concerto/Orchestral (Sony) - 61€ (already have)

they also have all three Ansermet/Decca boxes for less than 50€ each again ... and I ordered the Leontyne Price (46€) to fill a few gaps, and the box set version of Max Richter's "Sleep" ...
