That's an insane price for a new release. Surely it's a mistake.

Nah, that's just the UK store's method of making sure that those EMI boxes are sold (at least most of them, at any rate). :D Remember the initial price of that complete SQs set (Artemis?)?

Quote from: Sergeant Rock on April 17, 2012, 10:54:18 AMBut I'm going to order it just in case Amazon honors the price.



I already ordered my copy.  If Amazon honors the price, I'm out about $30 for the cycle, shipping included.  That's one of the cheapest ever for me.  I think I've picked up only Dino Ciani's and Anne Oland's for less.  Hey, wait, Ciani's is the worst sounding possible and mediocre performance-wise, and Oland's is the worst of the worst performance-wise.  Surely the third (cheap) time's a charm . . .

Sweelinck - Complete Psalms, Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam

The CDCDCD is far to strong or I'm to weak - what the hell  :o :o :o :o

for $23.81 for 12 discs, I almost feel like offering to come & pick up at the door !!!!

This is a great set - one of three Sweelinck boxes. I was happy to get a 'bargain' price of $65 - even more so after listening to thd first three CDs.

listener

the Sweelinck box is now "temporarily out of stock" - I've ordered anyways, will wait to see if they deliver.

From what I can see amazon has it listed as 1 CD not 12?

I'm hoping they regard it as 1 unit for shipping - p&p x 12 will be prohibitive.

just as a basis of comparison--Arkiv has Glossa on sale at the moment, and therefore is offering this set at $69.99 US

Downloaded it last night, sir. It's in mono, but judging by only one track, it's very good.

This thread is not good for my checking account, you know.
Ordered it, with a couple of Vivaldi entries off my Amazon wishlist to get the free shipping.
