Even more surprising (to me), at Amazon.it they have the Fantastic Pollini box for 74 Euros, and the Hogwood Bach for 22 Euros.
  The 69 disk Callas remastered is 89 Euros
  The ansermet French and Russian boxes are 31 and 41 Euros, respectively.
Decca Piano box is 65 euros
It's all good...

Yup. The Callas live is around for 50 or something as well, I think ... at least I saw it for a rather crazy price a few days ago. I have most of these already (both Callas and the Ansermets), decided I have enough Pollini with some of the smaller sets ...

I know mono is a no-go for many (though I don't feel I have to understand why  ;) ), but this one's full of wonderful stuff:

  I love that set.  And sound is excellent--it's not poor "historical" [i.e. crappy] sounding at all, just not stereo. I have a 7 speaker surround system, and it sounds better than a lot of more recent things.   I hope they release a second volume...
It's all good...

That is the only "classic sound" box I have. The other ones seem pointless, anything in them has already be re-released multiple times and if it appeals to me I already have it. The Mono box has some really hard-to-find treasures. Same for the DG mono box.

The Ansermet boxes are fantastic, especially at those prices (if still available).

The Moura Lympany disc notwithstanding.

Now to find an online French language course.....

Dec 22 update: Price has dropped to 90.20 Pounds.  Also, the title of this item was changed to : "Mozart 225: Complete Edition / Various".  Are they now offering this in different languages, almost like a grab bag?

Blast! It's back at a low price! I thought I had successfully navigated the threat once it went up to 107 pounds...

Got it for about $60 shipped.

Some fine stuff in that set.

Came finally!  Big box.  Will rip it to Itunes and ALAC Lossless and do some more listening.  What do you suggest I start with?  I'm thinking the Cantatas.
