I wanted to order the Britten box, but by Jove its already 50 pounds, so I simply have to wait for a new opportunity, simply saw this one a tad too late. >:(

Hi Q

Thanks!  :)  Hope to visit again soon.

ps. It looks like the 'deal' has fooled quite a few over in France as well.

It was out of stock when I ordered in mid-December, and has remained so since (with price fluctuations). Still worth a shot, I'd say.

Aren't you proud/overjoyed that Elgar is valued more? ;)

Only Elgarian cares about if Elgar is more highly valued ...     ;D

I got my shipping confirmation the 28th December, and received it yesterday. As rubio, another Norwegian, did. A grand total of 140 NOK incl P&P, equal to around $24 or £15. The shipping was about half the cost.

Apparently my conclusions were not wrong. Now when this link above is clicked the price shown is £71.99 and the box set is announced for the next Monday... I ordered it for £9.08, VAT excl. Anyway, it will take some weeks to know the result of this bet.  :)

The story continues... Another policial story, better than the story of Vernet's set.  :)

Today I found this review on Amazon UK, regarding the "Real Chopin" set that I purchased for £9.08, VAT excl., and now tagged £71.99:

Quote1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware!, 19 Jan 2011
By
Baron Scarpia - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Real Chopin (Audio CD)
This is a warning to those tempted by the offer of a 21 disc boxed set of The Real Chopin. This is misadvertised by Amazon; the actual item is a single disc of the complete Chopin songs, still from the Chopin Institute (NIFC) but not the 21 disc boxed set. I hope/ trust that Amazon will revise their product information (and price!) accordingly.

One star is for Amazon's info, not the quality of the disc, btw.

You may believe what you want, but this review sounds very strange.

A guy who paid £71.99 for a single disc and even take some time to clarify: "One star is for Amazon's info, not the quality of the disc, btw". In fact when this guy wrote his "review" the set had been tagged £71.99 during several weeks.

Additionally, how this guy has this info if the set or disc has never been available since it was announced.

And the nickname of the reviewer! My God!  ;D ;D ;D

Yes.  The price has been changed back to £12.99 (with VAT obviously) today.  No other change is made, but no more 'mispricing'.  Makes me wonder what they will eventually deliver to the hundreds of people who pre-ordered.  >:D

Interesting, maybe I have another go! ;D

With Amazon proper that is. I sent a email to a marketplace seller that offered at 40 pounds, asking if the offer was correct. Could have well been, for that price. But he replied that he would check, and subsequnetely withdrew his offer... ::)

Besides the 12.97 Real Chopin box, the songs from this series are now offered as a single CD for 3.37

Well, this is not super-bargain, but another volume of the St. Petersburg Quartet Shostakovich cycle as appeared on Hyperion's "please buy me."  I think this is the forth volume of the series to appear there recently.

Also, two volumes of Angela Hewitt's Beethoven cycle are there.  There has to be something strange going on when discs containing the "Pathetique" and "Appasionata" sonatas are the worst selling discs in a record companies catalog.  (Makes me feel I need to have them.   :-[)

Hurrah!!! Chopin Box arrived and is as it said in the listing after all...21 cds, two played, both excellent and very happy-making.
Amazon kept to their price after all, and it's still there for £12.77 today...so tempting to buy another only I couldn't think of anyone to give it to :(
Jordi Savall box from Virgin on Amazon seems good value - 8 cds for £9.99 España Antigua...somehow it found it's way into my basket... ;D
Hope all who hoped to got their Chopin Box too today :)

hello there :D
it's only my third post...I was getting anxious about the Real Chopin Box set and found this forum which set my mind at rest, well, nearly at rest! It's great having all these people discussing things I'm interested in... :) A very happy state of affairs. I'm sure there was a bit of the site to introduce myself and I must go back and find it...
