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.

Again at JPC.de: DaCapo boxes (Dausgaard/Langgaard symphonies

That Langgaard set is a stunning bargain - roughly a 1/3 the cost on Amazon.co.uk

Can anyone comment on these anthologies (english renaissance and baroque vocal music)

There are also some nice baroque anthologies with the "Les boreades" ensemble but I am afraid they are rather recorder-heavy?

After what I've seen, it takes more than 2/3 off to stun me.  :)

When it comes to really big reductions, Hanssler's 172-cd box of the complete Bach works has gone on sale at Amazon.es for the ludicrously low price of €38 (perhaps one fifth of what it was available for previously there) It offers Helmut Rilling's cantata series and lots more classic performances. Amazon.co.uk have it at £47.
Both now show it 'temporarily out of stock' but it could be worth a punt.

In the U.S., in stock for $258. :(

Well, I've already got it. Trying to suppress the memory of how much I paid.

Now back up to 203 UK pounds.  Wonder if I and others will get it.

For all lovers of English orchestral music, this looks like a excellent bargain. Lyrita took the recordings from their subsidiary label Cameo.

At JPC, some nice bargains. Warning: these tend to disappear quickly. The British Orchestral Premieres 4cd set has gone up in price even though it still appears at 3.99€.

5.99€ for the Villa-Lobos quartets, a set much praised in GMG pages:


Thomas Rajna (piano) plays tutto Granados: 6 discs for 5.99€



A warm recommendation for the 15 cd set of Caballé Original Jackets collection (19.99€). Includes complete performances of Salome and Norma.



Orchestral works by Manuel de Falla: 3 discs for 2.99€ by the usually excellent Eduardo Mata


Martin H

Abbado's 41-cd Symphony Edition has finally been falling in price, now down to only $60 on amazon.com. On this side of the Atlantic, it is €66 at amazon.es & €73 at amazon.de. Lots of complete cycles (Mahler, Beethoven etc) and many splendid pergformances.

In addition to a 3-for-2 sale at Amazon.de, Amazon.it now has a "3-for-20% off" on Warner boxes, which is less of a bonus but has the advantage that one does not have to find three boxes in the same price range to get the most out of it since it's 20% regardless of price.
