I'm up! I'm up! 

Holly Gargonzola! That's a steal!!!!!!!! 


Hope burns eternal!

That must have been fast, I can't find any super bargains there!  And I wanted those, too...

An assortment of Naxos discs are now on sale at MDT for 3 pounds each.

I can recommend the Abe Symphony, the Copland/Aldridge concertos, the Buffalo Philharmonic Copland, the witty Dorman concertos, Kalomiris' Khachaturianesque "Triptych", Khachaturian's Cello Concerto, Otte if you like minimalist piano.

Excited Martinu's Piano Concertos 1, 2, and 4 are on the list - I wanted those - but sad they aren't offering the other half of the set.

What were the prices? (I don't see anything below the mid-50s right now.)

WTH?! (Assuming you're referring to (what was) the Amazon price, and not those of singles at MDT.)

Yip, a marketplace seller had them priced at that. The fact that they were limited quantity makes me a little more hopeful that they might fulfil the orders as it's not like they're throwing away hundreds of them - perhaps wishful thinking, as I rarely see these mispriced boxes fulfiled.

I almost bit simply because of the price--but then I realized that I already have plenty of recordings of these works that I like very much and saw no point in buy more that would likely just languish unheard on the shelf.

That will certainly happen for the concertos box, but I'm greedy Very intrigued by what I've heard of their symphonies cycle though

Live recordings from the '50s - on the face of it that could be very good indeed.

I recently mentioned getting the complete Haydn Fischer SYmphony set (about $65 I think). Well, I just noticed that for a few more dollars, you can get the Brilliant "Complete Symphonies" set from an Amazon MP for $76.50 (Fabulous CD). 100 CDs. Includes Haydn and whole lot more. Not a bad deal...

Nicked it, thank you very much.  For me the deciding factor was that the Shostakovich cycle is Barshai's, which I was preparing to order for about $31.  Now I get that and all the rest.
And actually, out of all those 100 CDs, there only seems to be one CD I already have (Neumann/Leipzig Mahler 5).

The Haydn arrived today, so I can comfirm gzoop (Amazon UK) as a great seller - they even packaged it in bubblewrap and boxes.
