I paid around $20 for this set with shipping a few months back.  It was a real bargain then, but much less so now ...


Soooo, why post it on this thread??  ::)

Super-duper cheap bargains from the past - I could fill a few pages whith that... 8) (But won't... 0:)).

Purchased today from MDT.  15cd's for £27.

HANDEL Rodrigo, Radamisto, Admeto, Fernando, re di Castiglia, Arminio, Deidamia. Joyce Di Donato, Patrizia Ciofi, Vivica Genaux, Veronica Cangemi, Max Emanuel Cencic, Sandrine Piau, Il Complesso Barocco / Alan Curtis. Virgin Classics 15cds

Deidamia I already have, the others are new for me.  Alan Curtis' attempts at Handel opera are generally well reviewed.  I can certainly vouch for the Deidamia.

Anything with Sandrine Piau works for me !!

Not sure if £2.80 per disc is Super-Duper cheap, forgive me if not.

If it is cheap enough, then you should consider these box sets.

Bach sacred cantatas - Suzuki (BIS).  10 cd's per box.  Again best price is at MDT

That is a super bargain, believe me, I paid full price for it. That is 19,00 euro's for each CD.

The artists-in-residence while I was in college. You cannot meet nicer people than this group. Haven't heard these recordings but look forward to.

I've heard one, and one of their Haydn's too. Very nice. This is a good group of players. :)

If things gets any cheaper now, I'll go for broke.

Oh, you are missing a previous discussion on the thread "Fair prices for music?":

http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,14309.0.html

It was said there that a price of EUR 400 for the reissue of Koopman's set was a bargain. But currently Diverdi offers the original sets of the cycle at the same price.

Featuring their famous and now deleted recording of the so-called "Earthquake" mass by Antoine Brumel, this 15 CDs boxset includes some of the most prestigious recordings available on the Sony Classical VIVARTE label and sheds light on this long-forgotten music that too often seems to lie in dark corners of European archives and libraries.

Paul van Nevel, choirmaster, musicologist, and cultural historian founded the Huelgas Ensemble in the early 1970's at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. The Ensemble has emerged as one of Europe's main vocal ensembles dedicated to the performance of music from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Van Nevel has won a number of prestigious awards for his recordings with the Huelgas Ensemble. Their recording of the music of Renaissance composer Mattheus Pipelare, Pipelare: Missa "L'homme armé" , won the 1998 Cannes Classical Award for Best Choral Music, in addition to the Diapason d'or in 1996. Previous albums, including their critically acclaimed Utopia Triumphans, have accumulated similar accolades. Van Nevel has also been awarded the "Prix In Honorem" from the Académie Charles Cros in Paris.

Tracks:
CD 1 Codex Las Huelgas - Music from 13th Century Spain
CD 2 Febus Avant! ,Music at the Court of Gaston Febus (1331-1391)
CD 3 Music from the Court of King Janus at Nicosia (1374-1432)
CD 4 Utopia Triumphans - Tallis, Striggio and other renaissance choral works
CD 5 Alexander Agricola - A Secret Labyrinth
CD 6 Matthaeus - Missa "L'homme armé", Chansons, Motets
CD 7 Antoine Brumel - Missa "Et ecce terrae motus", Sequentia "Dies irae"
CD 8 Mateo Flecha el Viejo (1481-1553) - Las Ensaladas
CD 9 Costanzo Festa (c.1490-1545) - Magnificat, Mass parts, Motets, Madrigals
CD 10 Nicolas Gombert (c.1500-c.1557) - Music from the Court of Charles V
CD 11 Pierre de Manchicourt (c.1510-1564) - Missa "Veni Sancte Spiritus", Motets, Chansons
CD 12 Orlando di Lasso (1532-1594) - Lagrime di San Pietro
CD 13 Jacobus Gallus (1550-1591) - Opus musicum, Missa super "Sancta Maria"

Nix, I have the Brumel since ten years, and that's amazing. Several other discs in it have been on my wishlist for years, so of course it is on order. But with such a varied repertoire, I guess a simple answer will be difficult, even though I expect the usual van Nevel quality.

My focus for this year has been to expand my collection of early music and I have been reasonably successful.  Thanks for this link, as I will probably go for the set ...

Hi guys, long time lurker here, thought I'd try and give a little back to the community for a change  :)

I was browsing Amazon.fr marketplace and came across the 60CD Brahms set issued by Brilliant Classics for 20 euros , as sold by abeille musique :

Also sold through their own site :
